摘要
This paper describes design, implementation and evaluation of a prototype of magnetic resonance (MR)-compatible master-slave manipulator with interchangeable surgical tools. The manipulator is designed so as to fit vertical-magnetic-field open-configuration MR imagers. Also, it is designed so that the surgical tool at the arm tip is interchangeable. We evaluated MR compatibility of the manipulator including a surgical tool by moving it close to a phantom in the field of view of an open-configuration MR imager. No noticeable deformation, but some signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) deterioration, was observed in the MR images. Consulted clinicians then evaluated its manipulability by maneuvering the master-slave manipulator system. After several-minute trial and error, they could perform each primitive motion for suturing task to training materials. (C) 2003 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
