Abstract

See full text

An elongate device, such as a catheter, for interventional MRI has one or more passive LC-circuits attached to its distal tip portion for position tracking. The LC-circuits includes an inductor winding and a three-dimensional “trench” capacitor. The LC-circuits are integrated in a piece of silicon. Optical fibers may be included in the device for optical probing of tissue surrounding the distal tip portion.
