MRI-guided focused ultrasound robotic system for the treatment of bone cancer

Abstract

An MRI-conditional FUS robotic system was developed that has the potential to create thermal lesions with the intention of treating bone cancer for the purpose of pain palliation. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…The "unconventional specific-purpose" category clusters works in which the authors identified a specific procedure or disease, and used the AM technology to design an innovative instrument. Five of the found articles presented instruments to treat or provide palliative care for different types of cancer [87,89,90,94,97]. Chen et al [87] introduced a new inexpensive thermo-coagulator to treat cervical neoplasia, an anomalous growth of cells in the female cervix (Fig.…”

Robotic system for magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound ablation of abdominal cancer

“…In prior studies, robotic motion was established using different principles and guiding mechanisms such as linear ball, 21 brass racks and pinion, 22 and jackscrew 23 mechanisms. Both pneumatically 24 and piezoelectrically 25 driven systems were proposed. Through the last years, a series of MRgFUS devices that use piezoelectric motor actuators have been manufactured using rapid prototyping.…”

“…Through the last years, a series of MRgFUS devices that use piezoelectric motor actuators have been manufactured using rapid prototyping. 23,[25][26][27] These systems comprise MR-compatible optical encoders for accurately monitoring motion. 23,[25][26][27] In this study, a 3 DOF robotic system intended for treating tumours in the abdomen by precisely delivering non-ionizing FUS energy under MRI guidance is presented.…”

“…23,[25][26][27] These systems comprise MR-compatible optical encoders for accurately monitoring motion. 23,[25][26][27] In this study, a 3 DOF robotic system intended for treating tumours in the abdomen by precisely delivering non-ionizing FUS energy under MRI guidance is presented. All the mechanical features were compactly housed in a single enclosure designed to be firmly secured within the MRI couch of conventional MRI scanners.…”
