Wedescribe how realtime MR system can be customized to complete thefollowing tasks in less than minutes obtain an 81 second acquisition ofa multisection functional MR imaging time series using singleshotechoplanar imaging, perform image reconstruction, extract functional MRactivation maps using crosscorrelation and thresholding, and superimposeactivation maps on previously acquired T1 weighted anatomic images.. This isparticularly useful in clinical studies, since the results of thefunctional MR examination can be ascertained before the patient leaves theMR suite, permitting interactive tailoring of the functional MR study.
