While visualizing the movement of catheters during
endovascular interventions is typically accomplished
using x-ray fluoroscopy, there are many potential
advantages to developing MRI-based approaches that will
allow for three-dimensional imaging of the
tissue/vasculature interface while monitoring other
physiologically-relevant criteria, without exposing the
patient or clinician team to potentially harmful
ionizing radiation. In this educational session, we will
discuss the various benefits and current limitations of
MRI-guided catheter tracking, as well as open a dialogue
as to how we can improve this technique and allow
large-scale adoption of MRI-guided catheter tracking
that may benefit patients and clinicians alike.
