Image-guide therapy of a tissue

This invention describes a system for treating tissue inside the body, guided by medical imaging like an MRI. It uses a motorless mechanism with a wire to precisely move a treatment device, such as a laser probe, within the tissue. This mechanism is held by a guide assembly that attaches to the patient, allowing for controlled tilting and rotation of the treatment device.

Why it matters: The high cost of fully MRI-compatible robotic systems persists, making this simpler, motorless approach attractive. Advances in precision manufacturing since 2015 also make building such mechanical systems more feasible.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateCustom precision mechanics, MRI compatible materials
