Using MRI for Heart Procedures with Imricor

About this episode

Imricor

The heart is always moving, and seeing it clearly during a procedure is one of medicine's great technical challenges. This Now We Know TV! segment featuring Imricor brings viewers into the world of MRI-guided cardiac procedures, where imaging, electrophysiology, and specialized medical devices come together in a new way.

Imricor is focused on MRI-guided cardiac ablation technology. Traditional cardiac ablation procedures often rely on X-ray based imaging to help physicians guide tools inside the body. Imricor's system is designed to allow physicians to perform ablations inside the MRI suite using MR-conditional catheters and recording equipment. That distinction gives the story a strong educational story because MRI can provide real-time soft tissue visualization without ionizing radiation.

From the segment Explore how Imricor is advancing MRI-guided cardiac ablation with real-time imaging and MR-conditional tools.
