Convection Enhanced Delivery is a powerful method of delivering drugs to the CNS. MR-visible tracers co-infused with drug will be<br />

useful to assess drug distribution. We tested four compounds (Magnevist and three Gd-labeled polylysines) with molecular weights<br />

between 0.5k Da and 200 kDa as potential tracers for CED. Compounds were tested in vitro to model CED parameters used to plan<br />

delivery into four rhesus monkeys. In vitro results demonstrated MW dependent CED distribution. In vivo results demonstrated<br />

distribution of the Magnevist in the putamen but little distribution of the polylysine as a result of binding and digestion of the<br />

polylysine.<br />

A novel delivery system for MR guided precision minimally invasive access to deep brain structures is presented. A targeting<br />

accuracy of 0.5 mm at depths of 85-90mm is achieved in a phantom model. The delivery system is also used to insert cannula’s for<br />

infusing therapeutic agents via convection-enhanced delivery (CED). CED is demonstrated in a non-human primate with infusions to<br />

the thalamus, putamen and sub-thalamic nucleus. Accurate delivery of infusion cannula’s was achieved and CED infusions extending<br />

up to 10mm in diameter are demonstrated.<br />

Osteochondritis Dissecans (OD) of the knee is a common articular lesion in adolescents and young adults. Retrograde drilling is an<br />

alternative in surgical treatment before more invasive and complex procedures are necessary; however drilling under fluoroscopic<br />

guidance via the epiphyses is technically challenging in terms of maintaining drill depth and accuracy of drill placement. The purpose<br />

of this study was to evaluate applicability and accuracy of a passive navigation method by drilling a simulated OD target at the knee<br />

with MRI guidance. Interactive MR navigation allowed precise drilling of OCD of the knee. Targeting was possible with a single<br />

drilling.<br />

During an MR-guided breast intervention, placement of a needle or probe requires accurate localization of the target. To allow rapid<br />

identification of these errors, avoid unnecessary trauma to the patient, and minimize scanner time, a real-time MR acquisition and<br />

display was implemented to allow the physician to monitor both the progress of the insertion and the procedure itself, such as core<br />

needle biopsy or tumor ablation. Flexibility was added to adjust the scan plane in real-time and make tradeoffs between update display<br />

rate and image quality.<br />

Percutaneous interventions involve the navigation of a needle or probe to a target location. MRI is well-suited to guide these<br />

procedures as it offers good soft tissue target visualization and no ionizing radiation. High field wide bore MRI has stimulated interest
