Abstract
This chapter describes several techniques developed for the use of clinical MRI systems for robotic approaches. At the core are approaches developed for the detection of ferromagnetic object artifacts inside MRI images, the tracking of these and the propulsion sequence. All approaches have been verified in experiments, and tests for the transferability to nanoparticle agglomerations have been made.
