Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “In the field of interventional radiology, procedures such as biopsies or punctures are performed in combination with an imaging device which provides guidance during the biopsy procedure to a region of interest for the tissue sample. Magnetic Resonance (MR) scanners are useful imaging devices in this context: the radiologist and the patient are not exposed to any ionizing radiation, and the images provided by MR scanners provide a high level of contrast and sufficient resolution to identify small structures such as early stage tumors.
