Interventions
MRI
Medical imaging technique used in radiology to form pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes of the body
Brachytherapy
Radiation therapy that is delivered by inserting radioactive sources directly into a tumor
MRI Tracker
The MR tracking device consists of a series of radiofrequency (RF) microcoils that are embedded into brachytherapy catheter stylet. The RF microcoils allows for accurate spatial localization of an individual brachytherapy catheter.
