This study introduces a novel augmented reality device for Magnetic Resonance Arthrography (MRAr) procedures. The system successfully guided needle insertion into joints in preclinical trials, improving efficiency for diagnosing joint injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Orthopedic Diagnostics

Background:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is crucial for interventional guidance.
  • MR Arthrography (MRAr) is the standard for small joint injury assessment.
  • Current MRAr requires separate, guided needle insertion and contrast injection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an integrated MRAr procedure within conventional high-field MRI scanners.
  • To eliminate the need for separate fluoroscopy or CT guidance for needle insertion.
  • To enhance the efficiency and accessibility of MRAr for joint diagnostics.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a 2D augmented reality image overlay device for needle guidance.
  • Integrated needle insertion and contrast injection into a single MRI session.

  • Conducted preclinical trials on porcine and human cadaver joints.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful joint space needle insertions were achieved in all preclinical cases.
    • The augmented reality guidance enabled first-attempt accuracy.
    • The proposed method streamlines MRAr without specialized equipment.

    Conclusions:

    • The augmented reality MRAr approach is effective and accurate for joint interventions.
    • This innovation simplifies MRAr, making it more accessible.
    • The technique holds promise for improved diagnosis of ligament and fibrocartilage injuries.
