Guidewire Tracking Based on Passive MRI Markers for MRGuided Endovascular Interventions

摘要

Introduction: Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) is commonly performed under X-ray guidance [1-2]. MR-guidance, however, would allow this widely distributed therapy to be performed without radiation. To support this, we present a guidewire tracking functionality that allows monitoring of the guidewire position during intervention.
