Experimental MR imaging-guided interstitial cryotherapy of the brain.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hyperthermal ablation techniques such as laser or RF ablation require dedicated heat-sensitive MR imaging sequences for monitoring MR imaging--guided interventions. Because cryotherapy does not have these limitations, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of MR imaging--guided percutaneous cryotherapy of the brain. METHODS An experimental cryoprobe w...
متن کاملA canine model of osteonecrosis of the femoral head induced by MRI guided argon helium cryotherapy system.
OBJECTIVE This study is to identify the reliability of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) modeling established by MRI guided argon helium cryotherapy system in beagles. METHODS A total of 15 beagles were used to establish the ONFH model. The left femoral heads of the beagles received two cycles of argon helium freezing-thawing under MRI guidance and were considered as experimental group...
متن کاملMRI-Guided Electrophysiology Intervention*
Catheter ablation is a first-line treatment for many cardiac arrhythmias and is generally performed under X-ray fluoroscopy guidance. However, current techniques for ablating complex arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia are associated with sub-optimal success rates and prolonged radiation exposure. Pre-procedure 3-D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has improved un...
متن کاملMRI-guided gene therapy.
MRI has the ability to generate high-contrast and high-resolution images, to obtain multiple diagnostic evaluations of organ function and morphology, and to provide multiple image planes with no risk of ionizing radiation. Recent efforts have focused on using MR technology to monitor gene delivery, to enhance gene transfection/transduction, and to track gene expression. This review summarizes t...
متن کاملMRI Guided Surgical Robot
The advantages of surgical robots and manipulators are well recognised in the clinical and technical community. Precision, accuracy and the potential for telesurgery are the prime motivations in applying advanced robot technology in surgery. In this paper a magnetic resonance compatible surgical assist robot design and construction are described. The robot is designed to position and direct an ...
