MRI can offer highresolution images to visualize soft tissue features such as scars or edema. We hypothesize that robotic catheterization, combined with the enhanced monitoring of lesions creation using MRI intraoperatively, will significantly improve the procedural safety, accuracy and effectiveness. This is designed particularly for cardiac electrophysiological (EP) intervention, which is an effective treatment of arrhythmia. We present the first MR Safe robot for intra-cardiac EP intervention. The robot actuation features small hysteresis, effective force transmission and quick response, which has been experimentally verified for its capability to precisely tele-manipulate a standard clinically used EP catheter. We also present timely techniques for real-time positional tracking in MRI and intra-operative image registration, which can be integrated with the presented manipulator to improve the performance of tele-operated robotic catheterization. date: 2018-04 date_type: published publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/tmech.2018.2801787 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1992404 doi: 10.1109/tmech.2018.2801787 lyricists_name: Guo, Ziyan lyricists_id: ZGUOB28 actors_name: Guo, Ziyan actors_id: ZGUOB28 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics volume: 23 number: 2 pagerange: 586-595 issn: 1083-4435 citation: Lee, Kit-Hang; Fu, Kin Chung Denny; Guo, Ziyan; Dong, Ziyang; Leong, Martin CW; Cheung, Chim-Lee; Lee, Alex Pui-Wai; ...
