Background: In MR-guided in-bore percutaneous needle interventions, typically 2D interactive real-time imaging is used for navigating the needle into the target. Misaligned 2D imaging planes can result in losing visibility of the needle in the 2D images, which impedes successful targeting. Necessary iterative manual slice adjustment can prolong interventional workflows.

A reliable and practical renal-lipid quantification and imaging method is needed. Here, the feasibility of an accelerated MRSI method to map renal fat fractions (FF) at 3T and its repeatability were investigated. A 2D density-weighted concentric-ring-trajectory MRSI was used for accelerating the acquisition of 48 × 48 voxels (each of 0.
