Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) evolved as an alternative to open surgical approaches,
and resulted in reduced surgical trauma and faster recovery. However, the confined …

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a stroke subtype with high mortality and disability, and
there are no proven medical treatments that can improve the functional outcome of ICH …

Objective: This paper aims to investigate a new continuum robot design and its motion
implementation methods appropriate for a minimally invasive intracerebral hemorrhage …

Neurosurgical interventions are often complicated and require procedure-specific solutions
for a better outcome. A pituitary tumor is one of the common brain tumors resected by trans …

Objective: We aim to develop and evaluate an MR-conditional concentric tube robot for
intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) evacuation. Methods: We fabricated the concentric tube …

Magnetic resonance (MR) conditional actuators and encoders are the key components for
MR-guided robotic systems. In this article, we present the modeling and control of our MR …

Hepatocellularcarcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the
world. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an effective method for treating tumors less than 5 …

Targeted drug delivery in the brain is instrumental in the treatment of lethal brain diseases,
such as glioblastoma multiforme, the most aggressive primary central nervous system …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most prevailing technologies to enable
noninvasive and radiation-free soft tissue imaging. Operating a robotic device under MRI …

Among permissible magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compatible actuators for surgical
robots, turbine-based pneumatic motors are noticeably favorited due to its compact size …
