Sunrise
Educational Session: Interventional MRI: Devices & Cardiovascular Applications
Skill Level: Intermediate
Organizers: Michael S. Hansen, Ph.D. & Viola Rieke, Ph.D.
Wednesday 11 May 2016

Overview
This sunrise course will discuss the components and design of
interventional devices, such as catheders, guide-wires, and needles.
Active and passive techniques to visualize the devices are presented.
The course will provide the participant with an overview of the
techniques and latest methods in clinical cardiovascular applications.
Target Audience
This course is aimed at both physicists and clinicians interested in
interventional MRI.
Educational Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Recognize safety
consideration for active and passive devices;
- Describe imaging strategies
for device visualization; and
- Assess the current status of
interventional cardiovascular applications.

Cardiovascular Applications
Reza Razavi
MRI guided cardiac catheterisation is becoming a
clinical reality. It has already been established for
diagnostic cardiac catheterisation procedures and
measurement of pulmonary vascular resistance. A few
cases have been also performed for structural
interventions such as balloon dilation of stenotic
valves and for radio-frequency ablation of cardiac
arrhythmias. However, more work needs to be done to
improve the mechanical properties of MR compatible guide
wires and catheters to make these procedures more widely
used.
