Frequently Asked Question
Procedures follow the similar clinical steps as standard ablation—vascular access, mapping, and energy delivery—but are guided by real-time MRI rather than X-ray. The patient remains in the MRI bore throughout, while clinicians view the catheter tip and tissue response on MR images. This setup allows physicians to verify lesion formation during the procedure, potentially shortening total treatment time and reducing repeat procedures.
