Navigation of a magnetic micro-robot through a cerebral aneurysm phantom with magnetic particle imaging

Abstract Cerebral aneurysms are potentially life threatening and nowadays treated by a catheter-guided coiling or by a neurosurgical clipping intervention. Here, we propose a helically shaped magnetic micro-robot, which can be steered by magnetic fields in an untethered manner and could be applied f...
