Synopsis

Keywords: Interventional Devices, Interventional DevicesWe present a small and flexible piezo-driven assistance system, which can be steered from outside the magnet bore via a control unit. The assistance system is combined with a tracking sequence, which is able to follow in-bore manipulations of a dedicated end effector in real-time. For an initial evaluation, the assistance systems is equipped with a biopsy needle and targeting experiments are performed in a phantom setting.
