Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering Professor Jun Ueda, have developed a patient mounted injection needle robot for use in magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), a technology that combines MRI imaging and low-frequency vibrations to create a map (elastogram) that images the stiffness of soft tissues. Working in conjunction with the Stevens Institute of Technology and the Mount Sinai Hospital, the team developed non-ferromagnetic lead zirconate titanate (PZT) actuators that allow for usage in the magnetic field area produced by MR imaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"439\" src=\"http:\/\/www.biorobotics.gatech.edu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/UedaClinic.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1645\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.biorobotics.gatech.edu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/UedaClinic.png 740w, https:\/\/www.biorobotics.gatech.edu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/UedaClinic-300x178.png 300w, https:\/\/www.biorobotics.gatech.edu\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/UedaClinic-150x89.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.me.gatech.edu\/robotic-diagnostics-degenerative-disc-disorder-Ueda\">https:\/\/www.me.gatech.edu\/robotic-diagnostics-degenerative-disc-disorder-Ueda<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Biorobotics and Human Modeling Lab, under the direction of George W.
