Intracoronary MR imaging using a 0.014-inch MR imaging-guidewire: toward MRI-guided coronary interventions.
PURPOSE To validate the feasibility of using a newly designed MR imaging-guidewire (MRIG) to guide angioplasty balloon placement in coronary arteries. MATERIALS AND METHODS A custom gold/sliver/Nitinol/MP35N-based, 0.014-inch MRIG was manufactured. To test its mechanical performance we used the new MRIG to catheterize the left coronary arteries of three dogs under x-ray fluoroscopy. To furthe...
متن کامل6 MRI-guided Interventions
After mammography and ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast is the third diagnostic imaging technique used in the diagnostic work-up of breast findings. In contrast to the other techniques, MRI primarily gives information on the vascularization of intramammary structures. Because malignant tumors typically have an increased vascularization attributed to tumor neoangiog...
متن کاملUltrasound Phased Arrays for MRI Guided Interventions
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) methods have been developed for noninvasive temperature monitoring over the past ten years, and this noninvasive temperature monitoring has been combined with focused ultrasound beams for noninvasive thermal coagulation of tumors. Ultrasound phased arrays with large numbers of elements (up to several hundred) have been developed in order to control the focal exp...
متن کاملInterventional Radiology Robot for CT and MRI Guided Percutaneous Interventions
This paper introduces a new patient-mounted CT and MRI guided interventional radiology robot for percutaneous needle interventions. The 5 DOF robot uses ultrasonic motors and pneumatics to position the needle and then insert it progressively. The needle position and inclination can be registered in the images using two strategically placed fiducials visible in both imaging modalities. A first p...
متن کاملMRI-guided interventions for the treatment of prostate cancer.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to evaluate MRI-guided therapies and to investigate their feasibility for focal therapy in prostate cancer patients. Relevant articles were retrieved using the PubMed online search engine. CONCLUSION Currently, MRI-guided laser ablation and MRI-guided focused ultrasound are the most promising options for focal treatment of the prostate in patients with...
