Most robots can't be used with magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, because they have metal parts. But Dan Stoianovici and colleagues at Johns Hopkins have developed a robot that can be used with MRI.

  • Scary shit at 2:30

  • Nice work. The end is quite scarry though...

  • Hopkins blows. Google "Adventures in Cardiology"

  • MrBot is an Image-Guided Intervention robot (IGI). IGI robots are essentially different from surgical robots, functionally and constructively. If a suspicious lesion is seen in an image, it is often the case that a biopsy needs to be sampled from that exact location. The robot goes in the scanner alongside the patient and precisely guides the needle based on the images, digitally. This also applies to needle therapies. See the URobotics website for more.

  • quite innovative.

    though it makes you wonder: why would you ever need to take a biopsy from someone still having an MRI administered? isn't the conventional use of robots to aid in surgery?
