MRI-compatible interventional robots. (A) EP interventional robot designed by Kwok et al.; (B) general vasculature interventional robot designed by Abdelaziz et al. In this design, there are challenges in separating the actuator (with ferromagnetic and conductive materials) from the surgical robot and transferring the power through MRI-compatible mediums. MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; EP, electrophysiological.
