In this work, we investigate the accuracy and time efficiency for real-time MRI-guided targeted needle placement using a rolling-diaphragm hydrostatic actuator system during motion. We show that the actuator-assisted approach was able to guide the needle to targets with greater accuracy and in less time than the conventional step-and-shoot strategy for both static and dynamic conditions using a programmable motion phantom. The new actuator system can potentially enable physicians to remotely perform real-time MRI-guided interventions during motion.
