MRI‐guided focused ultrasound robotic system for the treatment of bone cancer

A novel MRI‐conditional robot was developed that navigates a focused ultrasound (FUS) transducer. With this robotic system the transducer can access bones. The intended application is pain palliation from bone cancer using thermal ablation using FUS.
