Recent technological developments in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and stereotactic techniques have significantly improved surgical outcomes. Despite the advantages offered by the conventional MRI-guided stereotactic neurosurgery, the robotic-assisted stereotactic approach has potential to further improve the safety and accuracy of neurosurgeries. This review aims to provide an update on the potential and continued growth of the MRI-guided stereotactic neurosurgical techniques by describing the state of the art in MR conditional stereotactic devices including manual and robotic-assisted. The paper also presents a detailed overview of MRI-guided stereotactic devices, MR conditional actuators and encoders used in MR conditional robotic-assisted stereotactic devices. The review concludes with several research challenges and future perspectives, including actuator and sensor technique, MR image guidance, and robot design issues.
