In this work, we present a new version of our hydrostatically actuated system and investigate its accuracy and time efficiency for real-time MRI-guided targeted needle placement in a motion phantom. We show that actuator-assisted needle placement was able to reach the targets with greater accuracy and in less time than free-hand step-and-shoot placement for both static and simulated respiration motion. Our new rolling-diaphragm hydrostatic actuators can potentially enable physicians to remotely perform real-time MRI-guided interventions during motion.
