Article intro - MRI percutaneous robotics
International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems featured a great review article: MR-guided percutaneous interventional surgery robot system by Weixi Zhang, Jiaxing Yu, Xikun Lu and Yanjie Xu . Abstract Background: The combination of MR and robotic technology can improve surgical accuracy, shorten surgical time, and even improve the location of lesions that cannot be reached by traditional percutaneous intervention. However, owing to the limitations of the MR technology, MR-guided interventional robots face many difficulties and challenges in sensor, material selection, driving mode, and mechanical structure design. Aims: The purpose of this paper is to summarize and analyze the previous MR-guided interventional robots, provide reference for future research on MR-guided interventional robots, and propose a concept suitable for MR-guided bionic breast interventional robots. Methods: Starting from the field of MR-guided interventional robots, a systematic classificatio...
