Magnetically-assisted Remote Control Steering of Endovascular Catheters in Interventional MRI

Current applied to coils wound at the tip of an endovascular catheter can be used to remotely steer a catheter tip in a clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. This study focuses on (1) derivation and experimental validation of an equation that characterizes the relationship between cathe...
