	abstract = {The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the use of a transrectal system that enables precise magnetic resonance (MR) image guidance and monitoring of prostate interventions. The system used a closed-bore 1.5-T MR imaging unit and enables one to take advantage of the higher signal-to-noise ratio achieved with traditional magnet designs, which is crucial for accurate targeting and monitoring of prostate interventions. In the first of the four canine studies, reliable needle placement, with all needles placed within 2 mm of the desired target site, was achieved. In two other studies, MR imaging was used to monitor distribution of injected contrast agent solution (gadopentetate dimeglumine mixed with trypan blue dye) in and around the prostate, thereby confirming that solution had been delivered to the desired tissue and also detecting faulty injections. In the final study, accurate placement and MR imaging of brachytherapy seeds in the prostate were demonstrated. The described system provides a flexible platform for a variety of minimally invasive MR image-guided therapeutic and diagnostic prostate interventions. {\textcopyright} RSNA, 2003.},

	abstract = {We present the proof-of-concept prototype of a prostate biopsyrobot to be used inside a conventional high-field MRI scanner. A 
three degree-of-freedom (DOF) mechanical device translates and 
rotates inside the rectum and enters a needle into the body, and 
steers the needle to a target point pre-selected by the user. 
The device is guided by real-time images from the scanner. 
Networked computers process the medical images and enable the 
clinician to control the motion of the mechanical device that is 
operated remotely from outside the imager. The system is also 
applicable to localized prostate therapy and also demonstrates 
potential in other intra-cavitary procedures.
