Abstract

The use of a Unimation Puma 200 robot, properly interfaced with a computerized tomographic (CT) scanner and with a probe guide mounted at its end effector for CT-guided brain tumor biopsis is discussed. Once the target is identified on the CT picture, a simple command allows the robot to move to a position such that the end-effector probe guide points toward the target. This results in a procedure faster than one using a manually adjustable frame. Probably the most important advantage, as is shown, is the improved accuracy that can be achieved by proper calibration of the robot.>

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
