  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GUIDING A MEDICAL DEVICE TO A TARGET REGION
    Publication number: 20140135790
    Abstract: A device guiding apparatus comprises support framework, a counterbalance supported by the support framework at a position above a surface on which the support framework rests, and a manipulation assembly supported by the counterbalance. The manipulation assembly comprises at least one support assembly for supporting a medical device at a position intermediate the counterbalance and the surface such that a user has a direct line-of-site of the at least one support assembly.

  • MRI compatible robot with calibration phantom and phantom
    Patent number: 8275443
    Abstract: A medical robot for use inside an MRI includes a horizontal motion assembly, a vertical motion assembly and a controller. The horizontal motion assembly and the vertical assembly each includes a motion joint, an ultrasonic motor operably connected to the motion joint and an encoder operably connected to the ultrasonic motor. The motor and encoder are positioned proximate to the joint of the respective horizontal motion assembly and vertical motion assembly. Each motor has a cross section positioned in one of the axial and sagittal plane of the MRI. A medical instrument assembly is operably connectable to one of the moving joint of the vertical motion assembly. The controller is operably connected to the horizontal motion joint and the vertical motion joint and it is adapted to be powered off when the magnetic resonance imager is being used to collect images.
