Mechatronic system for in‐bore MRI‐guided insertion of needles to the prostate: An in vivo needle guidance accuracy study

To present our experiences in initial clinical evaluation of a novel mechatronic system for in‐bore guidance of needles to the prostate for MRI‐guided prostate interventions in 10 patients. We report accuracy of this device in the context of focal laser ablation therapy for localized prostate cancer.
