Rapid or "real -time"  MRI is now possible and can provide "fluoroscopic" guidance of therapeutic procedures.  We can expect a range of novel and exciting mechanical and biological applications to become available soon.  This workshop, aimed at clinicians and scientists, will provide an introduction to this rapidly emerging new field.
