Abstract
BACKGROUND: Interventional-cardiovascular magnetic resonance (iCMR) is a promising clinical tool for adults and children who need a comprehensive hemodynamic catheterization of the heart. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-guided cardiac catheterization offers radiation-free examination with increased soft tissue contrast and unconstrained imaging planes for catheter guidance. The interventional MR technologist plays an important role in the care of patients undergoing such procedures. It is therefore helpful for technologists to understand the unique iCMR preprocedural preparation, procedural and imaging workflows, and management of emergencies. The authors report their team's experience from the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center and a collaborating pediatric site.Entities:
