iCMR guided endomyocardial biopsy. A Rapid frame-rate real-time MRI-guided navigation of an active visualization iCMR bioptome to target a focal lesion within the left ventricle, labeled with fluorescent microspheres. The jaws appear as a passive artifact (arrow). B After systemic gadolinium contrast administration, the lesion is visible using inversion-recovery real-time MRI (arrows). Real-time MRI-guided biopsy specimens viewed under (C) transmitted light and (D) ultraviolet light demonstrate higher diagnostic yield compared with X-ray fluoroscopy–guided biopsy specimens viewed under (E) transmitted light and (F) ultraviolet light.
