Real‐time distortion correction of spiral and echo planar images using the gradient system impulse response function

MRI‐guided interventions demand high frame rate imaging, making fast imaging techniques such as spiral imaging and echo planar imaging (EPI) appealing. In this study, we implemented a real‐time distortion correction framework to enable the use of these fast acquisitions for interventional MRI.
