Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) involves the delivery of a flexible submillimeter guidewire and existing x- ray based approaches impose significant ironing radiation. The use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for intraoperative guidance has the advantages of not only being safe but also having high positioning accuracy and excellent tissue contrast. This paper develops a pneumatically d...
