Design and Control of Magnetic Resonance-Compatible, Pneumatic Actuators and Robotic Platforms for Steerable Needle Interventions
This dissertation presents the design and validation of a robotic platform to control steerable needles under magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guidance. The use of MRI to guide needle-based interventions provides clinicians with informative data, including excellent visualization of soft tissue, nee...
