Top 10 Challenges for Interventional MRI Suites of the Future

Interventional magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) is the use of MRI guidance to conduct interventional procedures in medicine. Conducting interventional procedures under MR guidance possesses several advantages over traditional x-ray based imaging modalities including superior soft tissue contrast, lack of ionizing radiation (zero exposure to both patient and interventionalist), the capability for stacked multi-planar imaging, and the ability for switching between coarse and fine navigation.
