Applied Sciences· Volume 13· Issue 24

Abstract

This contribution is part of the objective of diligent universal care that ensures the well-being of a patient. It aims to analyze and propose enriched image-guided procedures for surgical interventions and restricted delivery of implanted drugs in minimally invasive and non-ionizing circumstances. This analysis is supported by a literature review conducted in two ways. The first aims to illustrate the importance of recent research and applications involved in different topics of the subject; this is mainly the case for the introduction’s literature. The second concerns the literature dedicated to having more detailed information in context; this mainly concerns the citations in the different sections of the article. The universal goals of medical treatments are intended to involve the well-being of the patient and allow medical personnel to test new therapies and carry out therapeutic training without risk to the patient. First, the various functionalities involved in these procedures and the concerns of the magnetic resonance imaging technique (MRI) and ultrasound imaging technique (USI), recent contributions to the subject are reviewed. Second, the intervention procedures guided by the image and the implemented actions are analyzed. Third, the components of the fields involved in MRI are examined. Fourth, the MRI control of the treatments, its performance and its compliance are analyzed. Compatibility with MRI via electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is conferred and demonstrated for an actuation example. Fifth, the extension of the concepts mentioned in the article, in the context of patient comfort and the training of medical staff is proposed. The main contribution of this article is the identification of the different strategic aids needed in healthcare related to image-assisted robotics, non-ionized, minimally invasive and locally restrictive means. Furthermore, it highlights the benefits of using phantoms based on real biological properties of the body, digital twins under human control, artificial intelligence tools and augmented reality-assisted robotics.
