Magnetic resonance imaging compatible robotic system for fully automated brachytherapy seed placement.
OBJECTIVES To introduce the development of the first magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-compatible robotic system capable of automated brachytherapy seed placement. METHODS An MRI-compatible robotic system was conceptualized and manufactured. The entire robot was built of nonmagnetic and dielectric materials. The key technology of the system is a unique pneumatic motor that was specifically dev...
متن کاملAnesthesia-compatible magnetic resonance imaging.
To the Editor:—We read with interest the correspondence by Zimmer et al. Although we agree with their conclusion that human error related to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) use can only be minimized by adequate training, we believe lessening the risks of MRI technology itself is of equal importance. We feel it is time to stress the importance of “anesthesia-compatible” MRI, rather than putting...

متن کاملTransperineal prostate intervention: robot for fully automated MR imaging--system description and proof of principle in a canine model.
The study was approved by the animal care and use committee. The purpose of the study was to prospectively establish proof of principle in vivo in canines for a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-compatible robotic system designed for image-guided prostatic needle intervention. The entire robot is built with nonmagnetic and dielectric materials and in its current configuration is designed to perfo...
