Bidimensional MRI-based navigation system using a PID controller

Conf Proc IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc. 2006:2006:4424-7. doi: 10.1109/IEMBS.2006.259635.

Abstract

The feasibility of using 2D real-time control to navigate ferromagnetic entities in an MRI bore for novel medical interventions is assessed. Preliminary experimental results confirm that a simple PID controller can be suitable for several applications where targeting out-of-reach locations within the cardiovascular system is essential.
