Balanced-Force Static Magnetic-field Shim coil for improving cardiac MRI of patients with implanted ICDs

Unmet Need:In the United States, there are approximately 2,000,000 patients living with Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs), which are used to prevent cardiac arrhythmias by electronically pacing the heart when arrhythmia signals are detected. When implanted in the chest, the magnetic field from these ICDs can interfere with MRI imaging of...

MRI-Guided Active Injection Needle for Radiation-Oncology Brachytherapy

Unmet NeedEffective radiation treatment of tumors combines maximal radiation dose delivery to planned locations while mitigating radiation impacts on surrounding normal tissues. A delivery of radiation absorption materials (biocompatible gels) to create pockets of radiation dissipation has proven to be an effective method to mask unwanted effects. Most...

MRI Radio-frequency Heating Amelioration for Metallic Braided Catheters

Unmet NeedOver 1,000,000 cardiac catheterizations are performed annually in the United States. Catheters with a braided surface are most commonly used in vascular intervention because of their superior mechanical properties. While braided catheters made of metal provide the best mechanical manipulation, metallic catheters longer than a quarter of the...

RF Safe Transmission Line for MRI

Unmet NeedMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines produce images of the organs and tissues within the human body through a magnetic field and radio waves. MRI imaging is also well-suited for interventional radiology and interventional cardiology, where MRI images are used to track the position of interventional instruments. Many techniques have been...

Forward-looking MRI Coils with Metal-backing

Unmet NeedMagnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses radio-frequency coils to transmit and receive signals from material such as human tissue. Currently, there exist forward-looking coils that can image the tissue that is in front of the coil. Forward-looking coils for imaging the cervix gland, which is 20-30 mm from the coil’s end, are easy to build with...
