LOCALITE - A Frameless Neuronavigation System for Interventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Systems

LOCALITE is a frameless neuronavigation system that particularly addresses a problem with current interventional magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) systems: non-interactive response time in the interactive scan mode and poor image quality with fast scanning sequences.
