MRI-compatible concentric tube robot for intracerebral hemorrhage
ABSTRACT The objective of this proposal is to create and validate a minimally-invasive Magnetic Resonance (MR) - compatible concentric tube robot for Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) evacuation. About 1 in 50 people suffer from ICH in their lifetime. ICH occurs when blood leaked from a ruptured vessel accumulates and forms a blood clot (hematoma) in the cerebrum. The 30-day mortality for ICH is about 40% with half of all deaths occurring in the acute phase, especially in the first 48 hours. Blood spilled outside of the intracranial vessels is toxic to surrounding neurons, causing inflammation and perihematomal edema seen as early as 12-24 hours after hemorrhage. These deleterious effects…
