Whole shaft visibility and mechanical performance for active MR catheters using copper-nitinol braided polymer tubes

BACKGROUND: Catheter visualization and tracking remains a challenge in interventional MR. Active guidewires can be made conspicuous in "profile" along their whole shaft exploiting metallic core wire and hypotube components that are intrinsic to their mechanical performance. Polymer-based c...
