Preclinical feasibility of a technology framework for MRI-guided iliac angioplasty

Purpose Interventional MRI has significant potential for image guidance of iliac angioplastyand related vascular procedures. A technology framework with in-room image display, control, communicationand MRI-guided intervention techniques was designedand testedfor its potential to provide safe, fast and efficient MRI-guided angioplastyof the iliac arteries.
