Hybrid ultrasound-MR guided HIFU treatment method with 3D motion compensation.

abstract：PURPOSE:Banding artifacts in images acquired by balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) remain a challenge in MRI as they considerably reduce image quality, and diagnostic value deteriorates accordingly. As the steady-state tolerates small shifts in frequency, it is possible to acquire frequency-modulated bSSFP. ...
