Simple methods to test the accuracy of MRgFUS robotic systems

Robotic‐assisted diagnostic and therapeutic modalities require a highly accurate performance to be certified for clinical application. In this paper, three simple methods for assessing the accuracy of motion of magnetic resonance‐guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) robotic systems are presented.
