In order to improve the safety and efficacy of percutaneous aortic valve replacement procedures, a closed bore hybrid x-ray/MRI (CBXMR) system is proposed in which an x-ray C-arm will be positioned with its isocenter approximately =1 m from the entrance of a clinical MRI scanner. This system will harness the complementary strengths of both modalities to improve clinical outcome. A key component of the CBXMR system will be a rotating anode x-ray tube to produce high-quality x-ray images. There are challenges in positioning an x-ray tube in the magnetic fringe field of the MRI magnet. Here, the effects of an external magnetic field on x-ray tube induction motors of radiography x-ray tubes and the corresponding reduction of x-ray tube heat loadability are investigated. Anode rotation frequency f(aode) was unaffected when the external magnetic field Bb was parallel to the axis of rotation of the anode but decreased when Bb was perpendicular to the axis of rotation. The experimental f(anode) values agreed with predicted values to within +/-3% over a Bb range of 0-30 mT. The MRI fringe field at the proposed location of the x-ray tube mounted on the C-arm (approximately =4 mT) reduced f(anode) by only 1%, so x-ray tube heat loadability will not be compromised when using CBXMR systems for percutaneous aortic valve replacement procedures. Eddy current heating power in the rotor due to an MRI fringe field was found to be two orders of magnitude weaker than the heating power produced on the anode due to a fluoroscopic exposure, so eddy current heating had no effect on x-ray tube heat loadability.

Afin d&#39;am&eacute;liorer la s&eacute;curit&eacute; et l&#39;efficacit&eacute; des proc&eacute;dures de remplacement valvulaire aortique percutan&eacute;, un syst&egrave;me de x-ray/IRM (CBXMR) al&eacute;sage ferm&eacute; hybride est propos&eacute; dans lequel se placera un radiographie C-bras avec ses isocenter environ = 1 m de l&#39;entr&eacute;e d&#39;un scanner MRI clinique.

Ici, les effets d&#39;un champ magn&eacute;tique externe sur les moteurs &agrave; induction &agrave; tube &agrave; rayons x des tubes &agrave; rayons x radiographie et la r&eacute;duction correspondante de la capacit&eacute; de charge du tube radiog&egrave;ne chaleur sont &eacute;tudi&eacute;s.

A hybrid closed-bore x-ray/MRI system (CBXMR) is proposed to improve the safety and efficacy of percutaneous aortic valve replacement procedures. In this system, an x-ray C-arm will be positioned about 1 m from the entrance of a 1.5 T MRI scanner. The CBXMR system will harness the complementary strengths of both modalities to guide and deploy a bioprosthetic valve into the aortic annulus of the heart without coronary artery obstruction. A major challenge in constructing this system is ensuring proper operation of a rotating-anode x-ray tube in the MRI magnetic fringe field environment. The electron beam in the x-ray tube responsible for producing x rays can be deflected by the fringe field. However, the clinical impact of electron beam deflection in a magnetic field has not yet been studied. Here, the authors investigated changes in focal spot resolving power, field of view shift, and field of view truncation in x-ray images as a result of electron beam deflection. The authors found that in the fringe field acting on the x-ray tube at the clinical location for the x-ray C-arm (4 mT), focal spot size increased by only 2%, so the fringe field did not limit the resolving power of the x-ray system. The magnetic field also caused the field of view to shift by 3 mm. This shift must be corrected to avoid unnecessary primary radiation exposure to the patient and the staff in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. The fringe field was too weak to cause field of view truncation.

Dans ce syst&egrave;me, un rayon x C-bras sera positionn&eacute; environ 1 m de l&#39;entr&eacute;e d&#39;un scanner IRM T 1,5. Le syst&egrave;me CBXMR exploitera les forces compl&eacute;mentaires des deux modalit&eacute;s de guider et de d&eacute;ployer une valve BIOPROTH&Eacute;TIQUE dans l&#39;anneau aortique du coeur sans obstruction de l&#39;art&egrave;re coronaire. Un d&eacute;fi majeur dans la construction de ce syst&egrave;me est d&#39;assurer un fonctionnement correct d&#39;un tube &agrave; rayons x tournant-anode dans le milieu de terrain de frange magn&eacute;tique MRI. Le faisceau d&#39;&eacute;lectrons dans le tube radiog&egrave;ne, responsable de la production de rayons x peut &ecirc;tre d&eacute;vi&eacute; par le champ de la frange. Toutefois, l&#39;impact clinique de la d&eacute;viation de faisceau &eacute;lectrons dans un champ magn&eacute;tique n&#39;a pas encore &eacute;t&eacute; &eacute;tudi&eacute;e. Ici, les auteurs ont &eacute;tudi&eacute; les changements dans le pouvoir de r&eacute;solution spot focal, champ de vue Maj et troncature de champ en images aux rayons x en raison de la d&eacute;viation du faisceau &eacute;lectronique. Les auteurs ont constat&eacute; que, dans le domaine de la frange agissant sur le tube &agrave; rayons x &agrave; l&#39;endroit de clinique pour les rayons x C-bras (4 mT), taille de tache focale a augment&eacute; de seulement 2 %, donc le domaine de la frange ne limite pas le pouvoir de r&eacute;solution du syst&egrave;me x-ray. Le champ magn&eacute;tique provoqu&eacute; &eacute;galement le champ de vision de passer de 3 mm. Ce changement doit &ecirc;tre corrig&eacute; pour &eacute;viter l&#39;exposition au rayonnement primaire inutile pour le patient et le personnel dans le laboratoire de cath&eacute;t&eacute;risme cardiaque.

Per migliorare la sicurezza e l&#39;efficacia delle procedure di sostituzione valvola aortica percutanea &egrave; proposto un sistema ibrido x-ray/MRI a foro chiuso (CBXMR). In questo sistema, un braccio a C radiografia verr&agrave; posizionato circa 1 m dall&#39;ingresso di uno scanner MRI T 1.5. Il sistema CBXMR si sfruttano le forze complementari di entrambe le modalit&agrave; di guida e distribuire una valvola di bioprotesici nell&#39;anulus dell&#39;aorta del cuore senza ostruzione delle arterie coronarie. Una sfida importante nella costruzione di questo sistema &egrave; garantire il corretto funzionamento di un tubo di raggi x di anodo rotante nell&#39;ambiente di campo magnetico frangia MRI. Il fascio di elettroni nel tubo a raggi x responsabile per la produzione di raggi x pu&ograve; essere deviato dal campo frangia. Tuttavia, l&#39;impatto clinico di deflessione di fascio di elettroni in un campo magnetico non &egrave; ancora stato studiato. Qui, gli autori hanno indagato cambiamenti nel potere risolvente spot focale, campo di vista MAIUSC e troncamento del campo di vista nelle immagini a raggi x in seguito a deflessione di fascio di elettroni. Gli autori che ha trovato nel campo frangia agendo sul tubo a raggi x presso il percorso clinico per il braccio a C a raggi x (4 mT), dimensione spot focale aumentato di solo il 2%, quindi il campo di fringe non ha limitato il potere risolvente del sistema a raggi x. Il campo magnetico ha causato anche il campo di vista per lo spostamento di 3 mm. Questo spostamento deve essere corretta per evitare l&#39;esposizione a radiazioni primarie inutili per il paziente e il personale del laboratorio di cateterismo cardiaco. Il campo di frangia era troppo debole per causare il troncamento del campo di vista.

Los autores encontraron que en el campo de la franja en el tubo de rayos x en la situaci&oacute;n cl&iacute;nica para los rayos x C-arm (mT 4), tama&ntilde;o de punto focal aument&oacute; solamente 2%, por lo que el campo de la franja no limit&oacute; el poder de resoluci&oacute;n del sistema de rayos x.

Este cambio debe ser corregido para evitar la exposici&oacute;n a la radiaci&oacute;n primaria innecesarias para el paciente y el personal en el laboratorio de cateterismo card&iacute;aco.

Hybrid closed bore x-ray/MRI systems are being developed to improve the safety and efficacy of percutaneous aortic valve replacement procedures by harnessing the complementary strengths of the x-ray and MRI modalities in a single interventional suite without requiring patient transfer between two rooms. These systems are composed of an x-ray C-arm in close proximity (approximately 1 m) to an MRI scanner. The MRI magnetic fringe field can cause the electron beam in the x-ray tube to deflect. The deflection causes the x-ray field of view to shift position on the detector receptacle. This could result in unnecessary radiation exposure to the patient and the staff in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Therefore, the electron beam deflection must be corrected. The authors developed an active magnetic shielding system that can correct for electron beam deflection to within an accuracy of 5% without truncating the field of view or increasing exposure to the patient. This system was able to automatically adjust to different field strengths as the external magnetic field acting on the x-ray tube was changed. Although a small torque was observed on the shielding coils of the active shielding system when they were placed in a magnetic field, this torque will not impact their performance if they are securely mounted on the x-ray tube and the C-arm. The heating of the coils of the shielding system for use in the clinic caused by electric current was found to be slow enough not to require a dedicated cooling system for one percutaneous aortic valve replacement procedure. However, a cooling system will be required if multiple procedures are performed in one session.

Ibrido chiuso Alesaggio x-ray/MRI sistemi vengono sviluppati per migliorare la sicurezza e l&#39;efficacia delle procedure di sostituzione percutanea valvola aortica sfruttando le forze complementari dei raggi x e modalit&agrave; MRI in un unica suite interventistica senza richiedere trasferimento paziente tra le due camere. Questi sistemi sono composti da un braccio a C radiografia nelle immediate vicinanze (circa 1 m) di uno scanner MRI. Il campo magnetico frangia MRI pu&ograve; causare il fascio di elettroni nel tubo a raggi x per deviare. La deformazione provoca a raggi x campo visivo a spostare di posizione sul recipiente rivelatore. Questo potrebbe provocare l&#39;inutile esposizione a radiazioni per il paziente e il personale del laboratorio di cateterismo cardiaco. Pertanto, deve essere corretta la deflessione del fascio di elettroni. Gli autori hanno sviluppato un sistema attivo di schermatura magnetico che pu&ograve; correggere per electron beam deflessione all&#39;interno di una precisione del 5% senza troncare il campo visivo o aumentare l&#39;esposizione al paziente. Questo sistema &egrave; stato in grado di regolare automaticamente a intensit&agrave; di campo differenti, come il campo magnetico esterno agendo sul tubo a raggi x &egrave; stato modificato. Anche se una piccola coppia &egrave; stata osservata su bobine di schermatura del sistema di schermatura attiva quando sono stati messi in un campo magnetico, questa coppia non avr&agrave; un impatto delle loro prestazioni se sono saldamente montati sul tubo a raggi x e la C-arm. Le bobine del sistema schermante per uso nella clinica causata dalla corrente elettrica, il riscaldamento &egrave; stato trovato per essere abbastanza lento per non richiedono un sistema di raffreddamento dedicato per una procedura di sostituzione della valvola aortica percutanea. Tuttavia, un sistema di raffreddamento sar&agrave; richiesto se pi&ugrave; procedure vengono eseguite in una sola sessione.

Combining x-ray fluoroscopy and MR imaging systems for guidance of interventional procedures has become more commonplace. By designing an x-ray tube that is immune to the magnetic fields outside of the MR bore, the two systems can be placed in close proximity to each other. A major obstacle to robust x-ray tube design is correcting for the effects of the magnetic fields on the x-ray tube focal spot. A potential solution is to design active shielding that locally cancels the magnetic fields near the focal spot.

The authors propose a close proximity hybrid system design in which a C-arm fluoroscopy unit is placed immediately adjacent to the solenoid magnet of a MR system with a minimum distance of 1.2 m between the x-ray and MR imaging fields of view. Existing rotating anode x-ray tube designs fail within MR fringe field environments because the magnetic fields alter the electron trajectories in the x-ray tube and act as a brake on the induction motor, reducing the rotation speed of the anode. In this study the authors propose a novel motor design that avoids the anode rotation speed reduction.
