Guided Manipulation for magnetic Resonance

Description: A teleoperated hydraulic device with haptic feedback that enables a physician to remotely perform a liver biopsy procedure during an MRI.

I designed and developed the clutch system, the flexible two-way collet modeled off of the inside of a mechanical pencil, as well as helped develop MR-compatible pneumatic components.

Processes/Components:

3D Printing (Form II, Exploring Support Structures for small/precise components, Resin/Material Types), Laser Cutting, Testing, MRI Compatible Piston Cylinder
