MR Imaging-guided percutaneous procedures in children.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided therapeutic interventions in children are very rare. In comparison to other imaging techniques, it is very unusual for MRI to be used for diagnostic percutaneous interventions despite its imaging benefits. We provide a brief description of available MRI systems and instruments and use clinical examples to present and discuss typical indications for percutaneous procedures while showing possibilities for percutaneous therapeutic interventions.
