Abstract Details

2008, Master of Sciences, Case Western Reserve University, Biomedical Engineering.
One of the challenges of endovascular procedures is directing a catheter tip into small and tortuous blood vessels. The strong magnetic field of MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) systems provides a special environment that can be used to enable remote control of a catheter. Previous work proved the concept oforienting a catheter tip with the magnetic field of the scanner by applying a DC current in a single axial coil [6]. In the present work we propose a 3D array of steering coils as a potential solution for remote control of catheters in an Interventional MRI setting. We also demonstrate methods for visualization of the catheter and/or surrounding areas.
