  • AUTOMATED IN-BORE MR GUIDED ROBOTIC DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20130158565
    Abstract: A medical insertion device which may be used with or installed within an imaging system, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The medical insertion device can generally be used to retain, position and effect insertion of a medical instrument, for example a biopsy device or an ablation treatment device. The device can generally provide linear and/or angular degrees of freedom for positioning of the medical instrument prior to an insertion of the medical instrument. The medical insertion device includes a mounting arm, an interface connected to the mounting arm for interfacing with a medical instrument, a mechanism for movement of the medical instrument or a part of the medical instrument in an insertion direction, a carriage connected to a distal end of the mounting arm, and a pivot connection between the carriage and the distal end of the mounting arm to permit pitch or yaw of the mounting arm.

  • Surgical Guidance Utilizing Tissue Feedback
    Publication number: 20110015649
    Abstract: A surgical system is for use with a surgical tool and a tissue characteristic sensor associated with the surgical tool. The system has an expected tissue characteristic for tissue on a predefined trajectory of the tool in a patient, and a controller to receive a sensed tissue characteristic from the tissue characteristic sensor, such sensed tissue characteristic associated with an actual trajectory of the tool. The controller compares the expected tissue characteristic for the expected location with the sensed tissue characteristic for the actual trajectory. A robot can be used to carry out automated surgical tasks and make adjustments based on differences between the expected characteristic and the sensed characteristic.
