Echtzeit-MR mit radialer k-Raumabtastung zur Überwachung angiographischer Interventionen
1998
PURPOSE: To test the feasibility of real-time MR controlled guidance of field-inhomogeneity catheters in vitro and in vivo as a first step to MR-guided angiographic interventions. METHODS: Applying a combination of radial scanning with the sliding window reconstruction technique, a frame rate of 23 low resolution images per second was achieved. Field inhomogeneity catheters were steered through a flow phantom and into the renal arteries of a pig. RESULTS: It was possible to visualize flow or, respectively, vessels and to depict catheter movements. This enabled real-time MR-guidance of the catheter into the renal arteries of the flow phantom and into those of the pig. CONCLUSIONS: The new technique yields a sufficiently high temporal resolution for MR-guidance of catheters through vessels.
