MRI-guided biopsy and/or ablation procedure
Brief summary
The result of these studies will be used to improve patient care through assessment of new technology to determine whether it is beneficial (i.e. improving data acquisition speed or image quality) during iMRI procedures.
Detailed description
This proposal includes evaluation of advanced MR imaging methods in the iMRI environment and will operate within the NSR guidelines for data acquisition established by the FDA/CDRH. The significant testing by vendor and Mayo staff prior to in vivo use, assure the safety of these studies and overall system stability. The result of these studies will be used to improve patient care through assessment of new technology to determine whether it is beneficial (i.e. improving data acquisition speed or image quality) during iMRI procedures.
Interventions
Ongoing evaluations of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using the Philips Ingenua 1.5T scanner associated with MRI-guided procedures (e.g. ablations or biopsies) are essential to continued procedure improvement within the newly-built hybrid procedure suite.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical determination whether the sequence improves patient care during MRI-guided procedures. | 3 years | It will be determined whether the sequence under investigation improves one of the following: 1. lesion targeting (e.g. better guidance of applicators by reduction of metal artifact), 2. lesion ablation (e.g. improved MR thermometry, visualization of cryoablation ice), or 3. accurate assessment of treatment outcome (e.g. margins of ablation relative to lesion boundaries. |
