A real-time positioning and tracking technique for untethered devices or robots magnetically propelled by a clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system is described. The local magnetic field induced by the device, composed of a ferromagnetic material, is used as a signature to localize the device on three one-dimensional projections. A high-precision 3D circular-motion system was used to assess...
Software architecture for the navigation of a ferromagnetic untethered device in a 1D and 2D phantom environment is briefly described. Navigation is achieved using the real-time capabilities of a Siemens 1.5 T Avanto MRI system coupled with a dedicated software environment and a specially developed 3D tracking pulse sequence. Real-time control of the magnetic core is executed through the implementation...
An absolute positioning technique has been developed for ferromagnetic markers in medical instruments and untethered devices operating in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. This technique allows high precision 3D readings of the location of the device with respect to the absolute center of the MRI bore. The local magnetic field induced by the device is used as a signature for localization...

A feasibility study is under way for a multiplexed tracking/imaging/propulsion sequence to control a ferromagnetic microdevice in the human vasculature. Ferromagnetic artifact motion can be problematic for the acquired images but we show that when the phase encoding direction is made to match the main direction of motion of the device, the acquisition of planes distant of 3.4 cm of the ferromagnetic...
