Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • MR Fluoroscopy interventions can face visualization challenges.
  • Inadequate contrast or washout limits target visibility during procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a method to improve target visualization during MR Fluoroscopy-guided interventions.
  • To enhance needle pre-localization and insertion monitoring.

Main Methods:

  • Saving and scaling a pre-procedural target image.
  • Superimposing the saved image as a virtual/ghost field onto live fluoroscopic sequences.

Main Results:

  • The superimposed image provides a clear view of the target.
  • Facilitates accurate needle pre-localization and real-time monitoring of insertion progress.

Conclusions:

  • This technique offers a practical solution for MR Fluoroscopy visualization limitations.
  • Improves guidance for needle biopsies and other interventional procedures.
