Journal ArticleDOI
Design of a novel MRI compatible manipulator for image guided prostate interventions
Axel Krieger,Robert C. Susil,Cynthia Ménard,Jonathan A. Coleman,Gabor Fichtinger,Ergin Atalar,Louis L. Whitcomb +6 more
TL;DR: A novel remotely actuated manipulator for access to prostate tissue under magnetic resonance imaging guidance (APT-MRI) device, designed for use in a standard high-field MRI scanner, that provides three-dimensional MRI guided needle placement with millimeter accuracy under physician control.
Patent
Systems and methods for magnetic-resonance-guided interventional procedures
Robert C. Susil,Ergin Atalar,Albert C. Lardo,Henry R. Halperin,Ronald D. Berger,Elliot R. McVeigh,Hugh Calkins,Joao Lima,Paul A. Bottomley +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors disclosed a probe, including a first electrode disposed at least partially on the probe surface, a second electrode disposed on the surface, and a reactive element electrically coupling the first and the second conductor.
Journal ArticleDOI
RF safety of wires in interventional MRI: using a safety index.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the first theoretical model of wire tip heating that can accurately predict its absolute value, assuming a straight wire, a homogeneous RF coil, and a wire that does not extend out of the tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feasibility of Real-Time Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Catheter Guidance in Electrophysiology Studies
Saman Nazarian,Aravindan Kolandaivelu,Menekhem M. Zviman,Glenn Meininger,Ritsushi Kato,Robert C. Susil,Ariel Roguin,Timm L. Dickfeld,Hiroshi Ashikaga,Hugh Calkins,Ronald D. Berger,David A. Bluemke,Albert C. Lardo,Henry R. Halperin +13 more
TL;DR: This is the first study to report the feasibility of real-time MRI-guided electrophysiology procedures and may eliminate patient and staff radiation exposure and improve real- time soft tissue resolution for procedural guidance.
Journal ArticleDOI
A generalized activating function for predicting virtual electrodes in cardiac tissue.
TL;DR: The generalized activating function, originally used to describe neuronal stimulation, is extended to derive a new expression that identifies the sources that drive changes in transmembrane potential and provides a useful way of understanding virtual electrode effects in cardiac tissue.
