We recommend an FA of 30°-45° and a matrix size of 128 × 128-192 × 192 for MR-guided liver interventions with real-time T1w sequences to provide a balance between good visualizations of target and risk structures, high signal intensities, and low ghosting artifacts. The visualization of the target lesion may vary due to clinical conditions, such as lesion type or associated chronic liver disease.
