Patent Issued for Acousto-optical active markers for interventional MRI (USPTO 11950854).

A patent has been issued for acousto-optical active markers for interventional MRI. The technology, developed by inventors from Georgia Tech Research Corporation, aims to address the need for safe and visible catheter devices during MRI imaging. The system utilizes active markers with optical fibers, acousto-optical sensors, and antennas to determine the position of interventional devices under MRI. The goal is to provide spatial position and temperature information of the catheter tip and shaft to guide interventional procedures.
