Light Needle Positioning Robot Under MRI Guidance (LPRobacus)

November 27, 2015 updated by: University Hospital, Grenoble

LPRobacus: Light Needle Positioning Robot Under MRI Guidance

This study aim is to evaluate the needle positioning precision, compared to the real path planned by the physician on healthy voluntaries, by positioning a fictional needle, without inserting it.

Additionally, this study will evaluate:

  • the robot precision,
  • the robot detection robustness,
  • the software and device ergonomics,
  • the device security.
