The results showed the feasibility of using an MR-safe robotic system to assist the interventional radiologist in performing precision bone biopsy under MRI guidance. Future work will include developing an MR-safe drill, improving the mounting of the robot and fixation of the leg, and moving toward first in child clinical trials.
