Abstract:
The present disclosure provides methods for targeting a biomedical system. Aspects of the subject methods include determining the trajectory of a targeting device using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of a MRI-visible style of a trajectory guide that is compatible with the targeting device. Targeted biomedical systems may be utilized for a variety of purposes including targeted delivery of a therapeutic, holding a therapeutic device, positioning of a therapeutic device and other uses. Also provided are devices and systems that can be used in practicing the described methods including but not limited to trajectory guides and adjustable targeting systems, as well as non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing device, cause a computing device to perform steps of the described methods.

Claim (Index 49):
An adjustable targeting system, the system comprising:\n an adjustable turret comprising a distal end, a spherical end and one or more channels running from the distal end to the spherical end; a base, comprising:\n a plurality of annular walls forming a socket dimensioned to receive the spherical end, threading on an external surface of the annular walls; \n a plurality of slots positioned between the plurality of annular walls; and \n a flange orthogonal to at least one of the annular walls for affixing the base to a tissue surface of a subject; and \n a locking collar comprising threading on an internal surface compatible with the threading on the external surface of the base, wherein turning the locking collar a first direction compresses the spherical end to lock the adjustable turret in a desired trajectory and turning the locking collar a second direction decompresses the spherical end to allow for retargeting of the trajectory of the adjustable turret.
