  • System and method for image-based interventional device tracking and scan plane guidance
    Patent number: 9002433
    Abstract: An MR system and method for tracking a device of an interventional procedure within a scan subject is disclosed. At least two MR projections of the device are acquired, from which 3D coordinates of the device are determined. Subsequent image acquisition is adjusted with respect to the coordinates of the device to guide movement thereof towards target anatomy. The present system and method provide the ability to locate and visualize continuous portions of an interventional device in 3D, and do not require the use of embedded RF localizing coils.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 15, 2006
    Date of Patent: April 7, 2015
    Assignees: General Electric Company, John Hopkins University School of Medicine
    Inventors: Pelin Aksit, Shashank Sathyanarayana, Meiyappan Solaiyappan, Ergin Atalar
