Safe Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Interventional Devices
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-ionizing modality; therefore, there is no
known damage on human tissue as opposed to ionizing imaging modalities, such as
X-ray. Interventional procedures take long time and in order to prevent ionization,
interventional MRI is very promising. On the other hand, there are safety concerns
because of the possible temperature rise on current carrying conductive wires, such
as guidewires and biopsy needles, during MR scans when it is inserted inside the
human body. In this project, we are aiming to eliminate the dangerous temperature
rise by using different methods and improve safety of the devices used in
interventional MRI.
