Abstract:There has been increasing use of robotic surgery over the years, as it has evolved as an improvement over minimally invasive surgery (MIS), where a surgeon can use a tele-manipulator to operate on a patient. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become the leading form of image acquisition due to its ability to produce high resolution images during robotically assisted MIS. However, the MRI scanner places conditions on the robots that allow only certain compatible actuation methods used in the robotic system to… Show more
