  • High temporal resolution monitoring of contact between catheter tip and target tissue during a real-time-MRI-guided ablation
    Patent number: 10194830
    Abstract: A method of monitoring a position of a catheter tip relative to a target tissue. The method includes steps of identifying a wall structure in the target tissue; guiding a catheter towards the wall structure; monitoring a location of the catheter; directing a navigator beam towards the wall structure; aligning the navigator beam with the location of the catheter; monitoring a position of the wall structure using the navigator beam; and determining the position of the wall structure relative to the location of the catheter.
