P-017 Evaluation of radiofrequency-induced heating in an X-ray and MR-visible interventional catheter at 3.0 T

ConclusionsInitial immersion tests suggest that the worst-case scenario for RF-induced heating of our guide catheter prototype occurs at 95 cm. During the period of our tests, our prototype remained safely under the maximum permitted temperature rise of +2°C/hr of exposure. This study suggests that our guide catheter may be retained during an intra-procedural MRI without the safety risk of RF-induced device heating over time to the patient.Disclosures B. Kilbride: None.
