This report describes the development of a robotic assistance system that provides precise
and reproducible instrument positioning inside the MRI or CT gantry on the basis of …

Many different robotic systems have been developed for invasive medical procedures. In
this article we will focus on robotic systems for image‐guided interventions such as biopsy of …

Background Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have increasing applications in biomedicine,
however fears over long term stability of polymer coated particles have arisen. Gold coating …

Clinical use of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) under ultrasound or MR guidance
as a non-invasive method for treating tumors is rapidly increasing. Tens of thousands of …

Methods An expert panel was selected by the EAES technology committee to draft the consensus
paper. The panel was composed of 13 members: 9 general surgeons, of which six are …

Objective: A variety of medical robots have been developed in recent years. MRI, including
MR angiography and morphological imaging, with its excellent soft-tissue contrast is …

Negative radiation forces act opposite to the direction of propagation, or net momentum, of a
beam but have previously been challenging to definitively demonstrate. We report an …

The family Psathyrellaceae was analysed using phylogenetic and morphological characters.
A total of 18,133 sequences (ITS, 5.8S, LSU, ef-1α, β-tubulin), with 45 newly generated, …

Background Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a relatively new method used in image-guided
and precision surgery, which has shown promising results for characterization of tissues and …

Iron−platinum alloy nanoparticles (FePt NPs) are extremely promising candidates for the
next generation of contrast agents for magnetic resonance (MR) diagnostic imaging and MR-…
