In this work, we present a new robotic system prototype
based on hydrostatic actuation that enables
3-degree-of-freedom (DOF) remote control of
interventional devices inside the scanner bore under
real-time MRI guidance. We observed negligible effects
on MR image artifact, SNR, and distortion. We also
demonstrated the feasibility of our new robotic system
for 3-DOF control and to achieve needle placement within
1.6 mm of defined targets under real-time MRI guidance.
Our new MRI-compatible robotic system can potentially
provide physicians continuous access to patients during
real-time MRI-guided interventions with improved
visualization and accuracy.
