CMR-guidance of passively tracked endomyocardial biopsy in an in vivo porcine model

This study demonstrates feasibility and safety of CMR-guided and basically targeted EMB with passively-tracked devices. Signal-to-noise ratios of real-time sequences is non-inferior to standard sequences for les ion detection. CMR-guidance may improve diagnostic accuracy of EMB since CMR can detect myocardial-targets under real-time-imaging.
