Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system–driven medical robotics is an emerging field that
aims to use clinical MRI systems not only for medical imaging but also for actuation …

intermodality patient transport. In-lab image display can employ either shielded LCD
screens or projectors. To attenuate acoustic noise and permit open-microphone …

A novel magnetic resonance (MR)-tracking method specifically developed to locate the
ferromagnetic core of an untethered microdevice, microrobot, or nanorobot for navigation or …

Objective: This paper presents the 3-D kinematic modeling of a novel steerable robotic
ablation catheter system. The catheter, embedded with a set of current-carrying microcoils, is …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a cutting edge imaging modality in detecting diseases
and pathologic tissue. The superior soft tissue contrast in MRI allows better definition of the …

Background Image-guided endovascular interventions have gained increasing popularity in
clinical practice, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is emerging as an attractive …

The often touted advantages of MR guidance remain largely unrealized for cardiovascular
interventional procedures in patients. Many procedures have been simulated in animal …

Minimally invasive interventional radiological procedures, such as balloon angioplasty, stent
placement or coiling of aneurysms, play an increasingly important role in the treatment of …

Interventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could allow for diagnosis and immediate
treatment of ischemic stroke; however, such endovascular catheter-based procedures under …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as a potential guidance tool for a variety of
procedures. Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures using either open surgical or …
