RISDesign and Experimental Assessment of an Elastically Averaged Binary Manipulator Using Pneumatic Air Muscles for Magnetic Resonance Imaging Guided Prostate Interventions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Early diagnostic and treatment of prostate cancer could be achieved using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to improve tumor perceptibility. Nonetheless, performing intra-MRI interventions present ...
Design of a Multijet Omnidirectional Propulsion System for Small Jet-Boats
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Jet-boats perform remarkably well at high-speed but lack low speed maneuverability for tight maneuvers such as docking. This paper presents a joystick controlled omnidirectional propulsion system ...
An MRI-Compatible Needle Manipulator Concept Based on Elastically Averaged Dielectric Elastomer Actuators for Prostate Cancer Treatment: An Accuracy and MR-Compatibility Evaluation in Phantoms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A parallel manipulator concept using bistable polymer actuators has been developed to perform prostate cancer biopsy, and deliver therapy within the bore of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ...
