The international Phase III MISTIE Trial, which used CT-image guidance to position a catheter at the site of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) failed to meet its clinical endpoint for all patients. The Trial concluded that improved guidance was needed to help a wider set of neurosurgeons. MR-guidance of ICH evacuation could meet these needs. We present an MR-guidance prototype to provide neurosurgeons with a real-time interface with similar viewpoints as commonly used in stereotactic operating room settings. The MR-guidance prototype shows potential to be a reliable tool to assist as monitoring and guiding tools and lysing drugs during clot-evacuation procedures.
