Dynamic and interventional MRI
Capturing motion with MRI can be wanted or unwanted. Typically, abdominal or chest motion is a major concern in the treatment of tumors using MR-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (MRgHIFU) or proton therapy. We are active in the field of MR-guided interventions since more than a decade and provide dedicated methods for tracking organ motion to our national and international partners.
