Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers safe guidance for intravascular procedures by visualizing catheters and guidewires. New techniques enhance instrument visibility and enable detailed vessel wall imaging, expanding MRI applications in vascular interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) presents unique advantages for guiding intravascular procedures, including superior soft tissue contrast, multiplanar imaging capabilities, and the absence of ionizing radiation.
  • Functional information, such as blood flow velocity and volume, can be acquired using MRI, enhancing its utility in vascular interventions.
  • Safe guidance necessitates accurate visualization of interventional tools like catheters and guidewires within the vascular system and surrounding tissues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and present various techniques for visualizing interventional instruments during MRI-guided vascular procedures.
  • To explore the potential of MRI for high-resolution imaging of vessel walls and plaque characterization.
  • To discuss the expanded applications of MRI in vascular interventions beyond current X-ray fluoroscopy guidance.

Main Methods:

  • Presentation of passive visualization techniques, including contrast agents and susceptibility artifacts.
  • Description of active visualization techniques, such as MR tracking, MR profiling, and active field inhomogeneity using built-in electrical coils.
  • Discussion of high-resolution imaging of the vessel wall using catheter-based coils for plaque component identification.

Main Results:

  • Various passive and active methods are available for visualizing instruments in the MR environment.
  • Active techniques incorporate electrical coils into instruments for enhanced MR tracking and profiling.
  • Catheter-based coils show potential for high-resolution vessel wall imaging, aiding in plaque component differentiation.

Conclusions:

  • MRI offers a radiation-free modality with excellent soft tissue contrast and functional imaging capabilities for vascular interventions.
  • Both passive and active techniques can ensure safe visualization of instruments during MRI-guided procedures.
  • Advanced MRI techniques, particularly high-resolution vessel wall imaging, promise to expand the scope of minimally invasive vascular treatments.
