Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers superior soft-tissue contrast and a favorable safety profile.
  • MRI has the potential to serve as an alternative imaging modality for guiding medical interventions.
  • Endovascular interventions are minimally invasive procedures performed within blood vessels.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current state and future outlook of MR-guided endovascular interventions.
  • To examine the enabling technologies and clinical applications of MRI in guiding these procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Review of technological advancements in fast imaging, catheter devices, and visualization techniques.
  • Survey of preclinical (animal) and clinical (human) studies involving MR-guided procedures.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Examination of specific procedures like cell delivery, septal puncture, vascular connections, cardiac catheterization, and angioplasty.

    • Main Results:

    • MRI has demonstrated value in preclinical studies for guiding cell delivery, septal puncture, and vascular shunts.
    • Initial human experiences include MR-guided cardiac catheterization, peripheral atheroma imaging, angiography, and stent placement.
    • MR-assisted transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt procedures have been successfully demonstrated.

    Conclusions:

    • MR-guided endovascular interventions show significant promise, with numerous investigational procedures underway globally.
    • Key challenges include clinical-grade device availability, safety, patient monitoring, and acoustic noise.
    • MRI's unique ability to integrate 3D imaging, localization, and functional assessment makes it a powerful tool for endovascular procedures.
