Dr. Algın and his collaborators’ MRI robotic brain intervention system project has received R&D support from the Turkish Institutes of Health (TÜSEB) and the German R&D companies MARVIS and NORAS.

Recent research by Prof. Dr. Oktay Algın and his collaborators has led to the development of MRI-compatible brain biopsy and ablation techniques. These innovations have received
support from the Turkish Institutes of Health (TÜSEB), MARVIS—a manufacturer of MRI- compatible guidewires—and NORAS, a manufacturer of MRI coils. These studies will evaluate the ability to perform MRI-compatible biopsies on lesions located in different regions of the brain, as well as the feasibility of conducting various brain-related treatments using interventional MRI techniques.
