Description
Summary: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 text provides a comprehensive overview of the emerging field of interventional MRI. The international authorship provides first-hand experience of all relevant topics. It should 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 existing and future clinical applications
