As part of an NIH grant, we will need to develop and test novel multi-mode intravascular MRI probes with tracking, imaging and RF ablation capabilities. We will need to build a low-cost and modular gradient control system. This project will involve designing and developing modular GUI using LabVIEW and interfacing pulse generation hardware using USB interface. Specifications provided will include response time of the hardware and waveforms to be generated and other specifications standard to MRI systems. The control system will form an essential part of a low-cost MRI system.
