This review outlines technical and clinical considerations for implementing a clinical-grade interventional cardiovascular MR laboratory.
Guides planning for interventional CMR labs; leaves open prospective validation of safety and clinical outcomes.
The often touted advantages of MR guidance remain largely unrealized for cardiovascular interventional procedures in patients. Many procedures have been simulated in animal models. We argue these opportunities for clinical interventional MR will be met in the near future. This paper reviews technical and clinical considerations and offers advice on how to implement a clinical-grade interventional cardiovascular MR (iCMR) laboratory. We caution that this reflects our personal view of the "state of the art."
