Summary

This study tests whether special low-energy MRI settings can make it safe to use guidewires during heart catheterization. Guidewires help position catheters but can heat up in standard MRI. Researchers will enroll 22 adults who need a right heart catheterization to see if this approach reduces procedure time and improves safety.
