In Vitro Navigation of a Magnetic Sphere Using a Model Predictive Controller for Neurovascular Targeted Drug Delivery Applications

EasyChair Preprint no. 8156

Abstract

In this work, we focused on magnetic navigation inside a two-dimensional (2D) model of the main vasculature of the human brain (namely the circle of Willis). We manipulated a small-scaled untethered magnetic sphere inside an electromagnetic navigation system (eMNS), consisting of eight electromagnets to show remote magnetic navigation.

Keyphrases: Model Predictive Control, Neurovascular interventions, Remote magnetic navigation, Targeted drug delivery
