The Spectrum of Interventional MRI by David Woodrum, M.D., Ph.D.; Setayesh Sotoudehnia, M.D.; and Scott Thompson, M.D., Ph.D. (Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA). Clinical use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for image-guided procedures began in the late 1980s. However, early procedures were limited by tools, in-bore access to the patient, and MR imaging limitations. Interventional MRI (iMRI) offers some natural advantages including superior soft tissue resolution, ease of multiplanar imaging, lack of ionizing radiation, and the ability to re-image the same slice. MRI guidance is particularly advantageous when the pathology can be best or only visualized with MRI. There has been tremendous growth in clinical applications and positive patient outcomes of iMRI over the past three decades, and the community has benefited from close collaboration between interventional radiologists, MR physicists, and MR nurses. The figure shows summary images from the MRI-guided TULSA treatment. TULSA stands for MRI-guided focused transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA-PRO, Profound Medical Corp., Mississauga, Canada)

As MRI-guided interventions become more viable with advances in real-time imaging and in low- and midfield systems, there is a growing need for accessible, hands-on training tools that build operator confidence and procedural accuracy. Located in West Lafayette, Indiana, USA, a 0.55T MAGNETOM Free.Max system has been fitted to meet the needs of a preclinical, investigational setting. Four MRI display monitors (NordicNeuroLab, Bergen, Norway) on MR-conditional boom arms allow for visualization of images. An MR-conditional wireless headset system enables continuous communication between the MRI technologist at the helm and the interventionalist and staff in the MR room even during imaging. In any procedure, the technologist is responsible for the safety of the patient and the personnel in the magnet room. It can be a daunting task, and one of the main components of any successful venture is communication. In traditional X-ray imaging, users warn others about “X-ray!”; CT systems display warning lights that read “CT in use”; and during live X-ray imaging, interventionalists call for “fluoro”. The language of interventional MRI (iMRI) is still evolving, but it should be clear and consistent. The authors describe their collaborative efforts to establish a unique, agreed-upon language that assists in successful communication – an iMRI language that helps to streamline procedures while maintaining safety for all involved. Shoutout to the co-authors: Faith Sheard, Maya Olson, Zachary Hillan, Elyssia Wellington, Joshua Krieger, Florian Maier, Axel Krafft, Debra Patterson 👉 Please note: The interactive real-time imaging user interface (UI) is work in progress. The product is still under development and not commercially available. Its future availability cannot be ensured.

MRI-Guided Thermal Ablation in Urologic Oncology: The Nijmegen Experience By Jurgen J. Fütterer, PhD; et al. (Department of Medical Imaging, Radboudumc, Nijmegen, The Netherlands). Interventional magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) has expanded the possibilities for interventional treatments and is becoming an essential tool for image-guided therapies in urologic oncology. Unlike ultrasound (US) or computed tomography (CT), MRI provides high-resolution images and excellent soft tissue contrast for prostate and kidney lesions, aiding in precise tumor localization and distinct tumor border identification. This capability supports real-time targeting of lesions while safeguarding adjacent critical structures. Additionally, MRI permits ongoing monitoring and management of the treatment process, including mapping tissue temperatures during thermal therapies. Notably, it does not involve ionizing radiation, which is particularly important for younger patients and for cases requiring several interventions At Radboud University Medical Center (Radboudumc), MRI-guided prostate treatments began in 2011, followed by the first MRI-guided kidney treatment in 2012. These procedures are performed using a dedicated wide-bore 3T MRI system (MAGNETOM Skyra) in a sterile operating room environment. In this article, the authors share their experience with various MRI-guided prostate treatments, including: - Cryoablation - Focal laser ablation - Transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) - MRI-guided cryoablation of renal tumors.

Establishing an MRI-Guided Intervention Service Using a 0.55T System: Initial Experiences and Workflow Development By Jan Robert Kroeger, M.D.; et al. (Department of Radiology, Neuroradiology and Nuclear Medicine, Johannes Wesling Klinikum Minden, University Hospital of Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany). Interventional radiology plays a crucial role in modern diagnostics and therapeutics. While computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound (US) guidance are well established for percutaneous needle-based procedures, certain clinical scenarios present challenges. The radiology department at Johannes Wesling Klinikum Minden has a robust program for CT-guided interventions, performing approximately 700 procedures annually, including biopsies, drainages, ablations, and pain management injections. Despite this experience, specific limitations were identified that prompted improvements. In some cases, lesions that were clearly visible on diagnostic #MRI were poorly or not visualized under CT guidance, hindering successful biopsy. Additionally, concerns were raised regarding cumulative radiation exposure, particularly in younger patients undergoing procedures like injection therapy for back pain, highlighted the need for non-ionizing imaging alternatives. MRI guidance offers potential solutions by providing superior soft tissue contrast without ionizing radiation. As a result, an MRI-guided intervention service was established “de novo”. This manuscript presents the initial experiences, challenges encountered, workflow development, and key learnings during the implementation phase using a 0.55T MAGNETOM Free.Max system.

Liver cancer is one of the fastest-growing cancers and a major contributor to cancer-related mortality. Minimally invasive, nonsurgical local liver therapies play a key role in appropriately selected patients with hepatobiliary cancer. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers a compelling solution for liver interventions by providing multiplanar, real-time needle guidance without exposure to ionizing radiation. It has excellent soft tissue contrast, outstanding spatial and temporal resolution, and functional imaging capabilities like diffusion-weighted imaging. Additionally, real-time temperature measurement during liver ablation helps to ensure complete tumor destruction while preserving surrounding healthy tissue and thus minimizing collateral damage The integration of MRI guidance into hepatobiliary cancer diagnosis and treatment marks a significant advancement in interventional oncology. Its unique qualities enhance precise and safe planning, execution and monitoring of liver biopsies, liver tumor ablation, and percutaneous biliary drainage.

An example from Revenge/Justice of how Qimir could be Imri. Pure speculation of course.
Qimir is a smooth liar. Yet he stumbles to deliver believable lies in Olega to the Jedi questioning him. It’s evident to me the “act of Qimir” isn’t that successful here. >>

#AcolyteThoughts #Qimir #Imri
There is A LOT of speculation about Qimir’s identity and if (or how) it relates to existing Star Wars canon. This is my favourite theory, and yeah, I know the counterpoints. However, I’d love to share the reasons I stand by my theory that Qimir is Imri Cantaros. >>

Alrighty, Acolytes. I was going to post my headcanon and fan speculations on ao3. But, given how I’m loving the bsky vibe, thought it’d be more fun to take my time and make interactive here. And I will start with a discussion about Imri. 👀
