β¦ Synopsis
Open-configuration MRI systems have been recently introduced and hold promise to allow the performance of a variety of minimally invasive procedures. Experience with MR-guided catheter-based luminal interventions is experimental to date. This is the first case of a successful percutaneous nephrostomy tube placement in a patient in an interventional MR system. The procedure was performed completely under MR guidance, and technical aspects are reviewed and compared with other, established techniques for percutaneous nephrostomy placement.

Percutaneous placement of nephrostomy catheters in patients with non-dilated pelvicaliceal systems remains problematic. We successfully performed ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrostomies in 5 such patients after intravenous administration of a diuretic agent. Diuresis resulted in transient dilat
