Segmented Metallic Guidewires

    Description of Technology: The invention pertains to segmented 
metallic guidewires that are suitable for MRI catheterization. 
Guidewires contain plurality of short conductive metallic segments that 
are individually short enough to not resonate during MR imaging. The 
conductive segments are electrically insulated from each other and 
mechanically coupled together end-to-end via connectors, such as 
stiffness matched connectors, to provide a sufficiently long, strong, 
and flexible guidewire for catheterization that is non-resonant during 
MRI.
    Potential Commercial Applications: Endovascular interventions.
    Inventors: Robert Lederman, Ozgur Kocaturk, Burcu Basar (NHLBI).
