چکیده
The performance of interventional procedures during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guidance brings multiple advantages compared to other imaging modalities, such as the elimination of ionizing radiation and high quality soft tissue differentiation. Clinicians prefer to use MR-imaging for certain interventional procedures including MRI-guided biopsies [1] and ablations [2]. Real time MR-imaging provides the visualization of the biopsy needle during its introduction into the target structure. An important challenge in MRI-guided interventions is the registration of MR-images to the instrument or tool holder.

Reconfigurable Fiducial - Integrated Modular Needle Driver for Mri
Needle-based interventions are pervasive in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), and are often used in a number of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including biopsy and brachytherapy seed placement. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) which can provide high quality, real time and high soft tissue contrast imaging, is an ideal guidance tool for image-guided therapy (IGT). Therefore, a MRI-guided...

Introduction: Radiotherapy is one of the treatment options for locally advanced prostate cancer, however with standard radiation doses it is not always very effective. One of the strategies to improve the efficiency of radiotherapy is increasing the dose. In this study to increase tumor local control rates a new radiotherapy method, known as dose painting (DP) was investigated....
متن کاملReal-time inversion recovery for infarct visualization during MR-guided interventions
Background Real-time MR imaging is appealing for dynamic procedural guidance. Some MRI-guided procedures, such as catheter ablation or myocardial biopsy, may require the interventionist to visualize infarcted tissue in real-time in order to navigate devices relative to the lesion. Methods to interleave late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) images into a real-time imaging stream (1 in 5 frames) have...
متن کاملA high accuracy multi-image registration method for tracking MRI-guided robots
Recent studies have demonstrated several functional surgical robots and other devices operating in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) environment. Calibration and tracking of the robotic device is essential during such MRIguided procedures. A fiducial tracking module is placed on the base or the end effector of the robot to localize it within the scanner, and thus the patient coordinate syste...
