Real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combines the advantages of excellent soft-tissue characterization in a true 3D anatomical and functional model with the possibility of lesion and gap visualization without the need of any radiation. Therefore, real-time MRI presents a particularly attractive imaging technology to guide electrophysiology studies and catheter ablation procedures. This article aims to provide an overview on current routine clinical application of MRI in the setting of interventional electrophysiology. Furthermore, development of real-time MRI guided electrophysiology studies and first experiences with MRI guided catheter ablation procedures are depicted. In this context advantages, challenges and limitations of real-time MRI guided catheter ablation as well as future perspectives are discussed.
实时磁共振成像(MRI)将在真实三维解剖和功能模型中出色的软组织特征描绘优势与无需任何辐射即可实现病变和间隙可视化的可能性相结合。因此,实时MRI是一种特别有吸引力的成像技术,可用于指导电生理研究和导管消融手术。本文旨在概述MRI在介入电生理领域的当前常规临床应用。此外,还描述了实时MRI引导下的电生理研究的发展以及MRI引导下导管消融手术的首次经验。在此背景下,讨论了实时MRI引导下导管消融的优势、挑战和局限性以及未来前景。
