MRI Compatible Robot to Burn Away Brain Tumors, University of Maryland Reveals

The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, part of National Institutes of Health (NIH), is profiling some of the research it’s been funding over at its Science Highlights page. One interesting technology researchers have been working on at University of Maryland is an MRI compatible robotic snake-like ablation device that can move in 3D and would be used to carefully get to hard to access brain tumors and kill them with a heated tip.
