With the advent of open configuration MR imaging systems, the vision of MRI-based guidance, control, and monitoring of minimally invasive interventions has evolved from a hypothetical concept to a practical possibility. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the very exciting emerging field of interventional MRI. The international authorship provides firsthand experience of all relevant topics.This book will familiarize the reader with the basic principles underlying currently available hardware and software configurations. In addition, technical aspects of thermosensitive imaging, techniques for instrument visualization, and safety aspects are covered. Finally, the book emphasizes both existing and future clinical applications.
This is the first book to cover the exciting new field of interventional magnetic resonance imaging. The basic principles underlying available hardware and software configurations are discussed, technical aspects elucidated, and clinical applications clearly outlined. The chapters reflect the firsthand experience of the authors, chosen for their level of expertise.
The book summarizes the work performed in the field of Interventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging to date The first book covering the field of interventional MRI
