Cardiac MRI offers 3D real-time imaging with unsurpassed soft tissue contrast without x-ray exposure. To minimize safety concerns and imaging artifacts in MR-guided interventional electrophysiology (EP), we aimed at developing a setup including catheters for ablation therapy based on carbon technology.
