Improved MRI guidance of pediatric catheterization via autonomous multi-beat data synthesis
Project Summary Cardiovascular catheterization is a minimally-invasive approach to measure hemodynamics and treat abnormalities, such as vascular stenosis. Conventionally, X-ray fluoroscopy guides catheterizations, but it uses ionizing radiation and suffers from poor soft tissue contrast even with the use of exogenous contrast agents. This is problematic in children as they are particularly susceptible to radiation, often require repeat assessments, and can have complex anatomy that is difficult to navigate. MRI guidance provides a non- ionizing alternative that can improve soft tissue contrast and enhance evaluations. In addition to guiding diagnostic catheterization, first-in-human…
