METHODS FOR VIEW ANGLE TILT IMAGING OF INTERVENTIONAL DEVICES PROVIDING ADJUSTMENT OF DEVICE CONTRAST

摘要

Imaging of patients, intervention devices (48) by MRI systems can be achieved using a combination of view angle tilting, and magnetization manipulation. In one embodiment the volume elements (20, 21) appear to be disconnected (27) in the MRI image. The gap (27) provides contrast between the device (48), and the patient. This method allows the contrast of device (48) to be increased or decreased.
