Disadvantages
One issue with MRI robots is the potential use of transmission lines. Hydraulic transmission lines can leak and potentially ruin sensitive equipment. Pneumatic transmission lines can have issues with maintaining the necessary pressure to insure adequate response times due to long transmission lines. Aside from the transmission method used, potential differences in the size and shape of MRI rooms could limit the universality of MRI robots, even within multiple MRI rooms in one hospital. Additionally, the length of transmission lines would make setup and removal of MRI robots time consuming.
