MRI-Compatible Interventional Device and CAD System Developed for the Prostate Gland

By Medimaging International staff writers
Posted on 31 Aug 2010


The first commercially available fully magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-compatible interventional device has been designed for transrectal interventional MRI of the prostate gland. The removable device is designed to affix to an MR imaging table with an open design that allows for flexibility in coil choice and a cleanable foam pad for extra patient comfort.

Invivo's (Pewaukee, WI, USA) DynaCAD for Prostate solution provides physicians with a comprehensive, customizable set of sophisticated visualization tools for performing real-time analysis of prostate MRI studies. The pairing of DynaCAD for Prostate with DynaTRIM then enables a physician to conduct targeted MRI interventions of suspicious areas within the prostate gland, reducing the number of cores acquired during biopsy. "The better the sample, the more uniformity in diagnosis and interobserver variance,” explained Dr. David B. Kaminsky of Palm Springs Pathology Services (CA, USA). "I have personally witnessed the calm reception of the patient during set-up and biopsy procedure which cultivates the patient's participation in navigating his illness and reduces anxiety to foster compliance with the technique,” he added.

Bernadette Greenwood, prostate product manager at Invivo, stated, "The synergistic integration of two commercially available technologies is demonstrated illustrating the potential for fast, safe, and effective minimally invasive MR-guided prostate intervention.”

On June 9, 2010, Invivo was recognized with a 2010 Gold Medical Design Excellence Award (MDEA) for its DynaCAD [computer-aided detection] for Prostate and DynaTRIM (transrectal interventional MRI) clinical solutions.
