A critical tool for Neuroscience and Image Guided Interventions Revolutionary robots guided by real-time 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning would enable reliable and precise minimally invasive operations with minimal recovery time.

MR Compatible Robot Technology

On the other hand, using a robotic interface in conjunction with functional MRI (fMRI) would enable neuroscientists to 'view' and investigate the brain mechanisms involved in performing tasks with arbitrary dynamics. There is, however, a major problem for robots working within an MRI environment: conventional materials, actuators and sensors interfere with the static magnetic field, switching magnetic field gradients and radio frequency (RF) signals generated by the MR scanner. Goal. Robot-Assisted Surgery: Bibliography. Robot-Assisted Surgery: Neurosurgery. Introduction By the early 1980s, neurosurgeons were beginning to reach their limits based on traditional methods alone.

Robot-Assisted Surgery: Neurosurgery

Even with technological improvements in image guidance, intraoperative imaging, and microscopy, the scale of surgery has become so small that even the best human surgeons become limited by their natural dexterity2,3. The increasing need for greater magnification and smaller tools has made the human hand unfeasible to perform the tasks. Improvements in computer technology, engineering, minimum invasive surgery, along with the new neuroimaging techniques, created the concept of digital robotic neurosurgery2,3. Neurosurgery was one of the first organ systems in which robotic surgery was introduced, due to the high precision that was required to localize and manipulate within the brain, and the relatively fixed landmarks of the cranial anatomy1. How we got to the Technology today. Probot. Worldwide Medical Device Regulatory Updates.

April 10, 2014 by Stewart Eisenhart A new Health Canada report on regulatory inspections of domestic and foreign medical device companies active in the Canadian market has shown a 98% overall compliance rate among importers, manufacturers and distributors.

Worldwide Medical Device Regulatory Updates

FDA’s 510(k) pre-market review process for medical devices provides strong protections to American patients and promotes medical innovation. It provides FDA the flexibility it needs to ensure the safety and effectiveness of low- and moderate-risk medical devices whose risks are well-understood from experience with similar devices.

The 510(k) review process provides for the thorough FDA review of a wide range of products – from syringes to imaging systems – in a timely fashion that facilitates patient access to needed medical advancements. Getting to First-in-Man Studies - CDG Whitepapers. Last month I had the opportunity to attend the CRT2011 meetings in Washington, DC. My purpose was to report on the March 1 "Workshop with the FDA" on device development in the US.

My whitepaper today is to combine the cardiovascular message from "Workshop with the FDA" with significant findings published by AdvaMed in a November 2010 publication titled "FDA Impact on US Medical Technology Innovation. " I hope to take a deeper look into the why behind the what, and then hopefully propose a way forward. The Device Development 'Ecosystem'When I talk about innovation, I am referring to either the conception and invention of new devices or to incremental improvements to existing devices. When I talk about development, I am referring to the bench, animal safety, pre-clinical and clinical studies that occurs before FDA clearance or approval or EU certification.
