A collaboration between Maclab and Radiological Sciences, the MR
Robot is a hydrostatically actuated robotic system for real-time
MRI-guided interventions. Real-time image visualization and guidance are
crucial for minimally invasive cancer interventions (e.g., prostate and
abdomen). While the MRI provides excellent tissue contrast,
multi-planar imaging, and non-ionizing energy, the closed bore limits
physical access to the patient. For this reason, a MRI-compatabile
robotic device is developed
