Feasibility of RF Ablation at the Larmor Frequency for RF Field Visualization
Introduction: Radiofrequency ablation is an effective minimally invasive treatment for tumors. One primary source of difficulty is monitoring and controlling the ablation region. MR currently has a role in RF ablation due to its capability for temperature monitoring. RF ablation is typically performed at 480 kHz. If instead the ablation were to be performed at the Larmor frequency, then the MR ...
متن کاملT2*-weighted MRI technique for visualization of RF ablation lesions
Background LGE-MRI is widely used to assess cardiac RF ablation lesions. However, LGE-MRI requires contrast injection and the appearance, dimensions and visibility of lesions in LGE-MRI noticeably change with time after ablation and time after contrast injection. Recently proposed non-contrast T1-weighted (T1w) technique is only applicable to visualize acute (< 3 days) RF lesions. The main goal...
متن کاملMR-guided RF Ablation
Background: Cardiac arrhythmias are common, affecting 3-5 % of the over 40s. Population growth and ageing will lead to a large increase in new arrhythmia cases [1]. Cardiac arrhythmias cause considerable morbidity and significant mortality as well as considerable anxiety in patients and their relatives. Early and accurate diagnosis is essential for the selection of an appropriate treatment, whi...
متن کاملElectric-field-induced relativistic Larmor-frequency reduction
Using the numerical solution to the time-dependent Dirac equation we show that the effect of relativity on the usual Larmor period for an electron in a magnetic field can be enhanced drastically if a suitably scaled and aligned static electric field is added to the interaction. This electric field does not change the electron’s speed but leads to an elliptical spin precession due to relativity....
متن کاملConstructing Verifiable Models for Rf Ablation Simulation
Modeling the process of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to support pre-interventional prediction of the treatment result has been desired for more than one decade by now. Still a correct description is mathematically demanding and needs further investigation into medical facts. The process is highly dependent on the patient specific anatomy and physiology. Descriptions from an engineering perspec...
