Development of the Manipulator for Special Environment

Recent years, image diagnosis of non-reliability has been rapidly developed, some of which it is possible to acquire the image of the time series. It is necessary to fix by, for example subjects or the shooting object is gripped by the MRI internally, within the MRI gantry is unable to use the common actuator for the strong magnetic field. In this study, the pneumatic bending actuator manipulator for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a noninvasive medical diagnostic imaging technique, was evaluated for a posture holder and a flow phantom experiment apparatus.
