We developed a Gd-DTPA (gadolinium(III)-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid)-based coating copolymer of hydrophilic and hydrophobic subunits to obtain visibility, hydrophilicity, and durability for passive visualization of catheters used in MR-guided interventions. We then examined a metal-free catheter coated with the polymer in a phantom and in porcine brain tissue ex vivo. Successful visualization of the coated device demonstrated the applicability of the new coating technique for visualizing catheters used in MR-guided interventions.
我们开发了一种基于 Gd-DTPA(钆(III)-二乙烯三胺五乙酸)的亲水性和疏水性亚单位的涂层共聚物,以获得用于 MR 引导介入的导管的被动可视化的可见性、亲水性和耐久性。然后,我们在体模和猪脑组织中检查了涂有该聚合物的无金属导管。涂覆装置的成功可视化证明了新涂层技术在可视化 MR 引导介入中使用的导管的适用性。
