ICMR suite. CMR heart catheterization procedures were performed in an interventional CMR suite (Panel a) consisting of adjoining CMR room and biplane X-Ray fluoroscopy suite. The interventional cardiac MRI room is outfitted for invasive cardiac catheterization (Panels b, c). The patient and CMR scanner have sterile drapes. Operators observe sterile technique and wear noise-cancelling communication headsets. Commercially available passive catheters are connected to conventional pressure transducers that interface (panel b black box) with the commercial hemodynamic recording system. The room is equipped with commercial projectors that are shielded for CMR operation. Rear projected images show the commercial hemodynamic recording system (panel c, upper left), and real-time CMR console (panel c, lower left). Commercial hemodynamic monitor (panel c, upper right) and CMR host (panel c, lower right) are also shown
