Abstract BACKGROUND: The recently developed magnetic resonance imaging–guided laser-induced thermal therapy offers a minimally invasive alternative to craniotomies performed for tumor resection or for amygdalohippocampectomy to control seizure disorders. Current laser-induced thermal therapies rely on linear stereotactic trajectories that mandate twist-drill entry into the skull and potentially long approaches traversing healthy brain. The use of robotically driven, telescoping, curved needles has the potential to reduce procedure invasiveness by tailoring trajectories to the curved shape of the ablated structure and by enabling access through natural orifices. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of using a concentric tube robot to access the hippocampus through the foramen ovale to deliver thermal therapy and thereby provide a percutaneous treatment for epilepsy without drilling the skull. METHODS: The skull and both hippocampi were segmented from dual computed tomography/magnetic resonance image volumes for 10 patients. For each of the 20 hippocampi, a concentric tube robot was designed and optimized to traverse a trajectory from the foramen ovale to and through the hippocampus from head to tail. RESULTS: Across all 20 cases, the mean distances (errors) between the hippocampus medial axis and backbone of the needle were 0.55, 1.11, and 1.66 mm for the best, mean, and worst case, respectively. CONCLUSION: These curvilinear trajectories would provide accurate transforamenal delivery of an ablation probe to typical hippocampus volumes. This strategy has the potential both to decrease the invasiveness of the procedure and to increase the completeness of hippocampal ablation.

Proton magnetic resonance spectra at 220 MHz of alanine transfer RNA do not permit assignments of individual peaks due to each of the common bases; only a peak attributable to protons at position eight in adenine can be assigned with certainty. Measurements of the relative areas of proton magnetic resonance peaks due to the base and ribose-1′ protons indicate that the ribose moieties of tRNA are not involved in bonds stronger than those experienced by the bases. Proton magnetic resonance peaks attributable to the methyl and dihydro protons of the rare bases can be distinguished in the 220 MHz spectra; the variation of their line widths and chemical shifts with increasing temperature indicates that the rare bases are located in regions of the alanine transfer RNA molecule which are more highly organized than indicated by an open cloverleaf model.
