    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Robotics
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Stereotactic neurosurgery is lengthy and prone to inaccuracies due to factors like brain shift.
    • Current methods lack real-time intraoperative visualization, limiting accuracy and safety.
    • Deep brain stimulation lead placement requires high precision.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate an MRI-guided, robotically actuated stereotactic neural intervention system.
    • To enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and safety of deep brain stimulation procedures.
    • To address the limitations of traditional "blind" stereotactic interventions.

    Main Methods:

    • The study presents a novel system integrating robotic manipulation with in situ MRI guidance.
    • Simultaneous robotic actuation and MRI imaging were performed to visualize anatomy and instruments.
    • Optical tracking and MRI phantom experiments were used to assess system performance and workflow.

    Main Results:

    • The system demonstrated minimal signal-to-noise ratio variation (<15%) and geometric distortion (<0.20) during simultaneous imaging.
    • Targeting accuracy was corroborated with a 1.38 ± 0.45 mm root mean square error in tip position.
    • Insertion angle accuracy was achieved with a 2.03 ± 0.58° root mean square error.

    Conclusions:

    • The MRI-guided robotic system shows potential for reducing procedure duration in stereotactic neurosurgery.
    • The system significantly improves targeting accuracy and enhances safety for deep brain stimulation lead placement.
    • Real-time MRI guidance and robotic actuation offer a viable solution for "blind" interventions.
