Highly Precise Catheter Driving Mechanism for Intravascular Neurosurgery

Recently, MIS (minimum invasive surgery) has attracted most of doctors and patient. It has been widely used in many kinds of surgeries, especially in intravascular neurosurgery. But there are several problems in intravascular neurosurgery: doctor's exposure to X-ray, few well skilled doctors, high risk of the catheter insertion. To solve these problems, we developed a highly precise remote control system by using a master-slave system. In this paper, we expatiate on the design concept of the system and then test the precision of the system. The experiment results basically achieve our design purpose
