Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are crucial for medical diagnosis and therapy.
  • Image-guided interventions offer precise targeting for various medical conditions.
  • Challenges exist in optimizing image guidance for minimally invasive procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe techniques for CT and MRI image-guided diagnosis and therapy.
  • To evaluate the feasibility of MRI guidance for interventional procedures, overcoming CT limitations.
  • To develop and assess new MR-compatible equipment for interventional procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Development and evaluation of MR-compatible needles, trocars, endoscopes, and ancillary equipment.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Formulation of imaging sequences, study protocols, and interventional MRI suite strategies.
  • Performance of 204 interventions in 168 patients, including biopsies, injections, and laser decompression.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful execution of various image-guided interventions such as aspiration biopsy, peridural corticoid injection, intratumoral ethanol instillation, chemical sympathectomy, and percutaneous laser decompression.
    • CT and MRI guidance demonstrated reproducible and precise instrument control.
    • MRI offers advantages like no ionizing radiation and superior soft tissue contrast, though instrument visualization is currently less defined than CT.

    Conclusions:

    • CT and MRI provide effective guidance for percutaneous and microendoscopic interventions.
    • Image guidance allows for precise instrument placement and real-time monitoring of therapeutic processes.
    • While MRI has benefits, CT currently offers superior instrument resolution.
