MRI-GUIDED SURGICAL SYSTEMS WITH PRESET SCAN PLANES

摘要

The systems include a display with a User Interface in communication with a circuit, the display is configured to display a patient model/map or model of target anatomical structure. The User Interface is configured to allow a user to select at least one target site (e.g., ablation site) on the model/map whereby scan planes for a corresponding location in 3-D space for the selected target ablation site are pre-set for future use. The circuit can be configured to automatically direct the MRI Scanner to use the pre-set scan planes to obtain MR image data when an intrabody device such as an ablation catheter is at the location that corresponds with the selected target site.
