Abstract
The field of interventional radiology is facing a growing demand for percutaneous procedures targeting smaller and more complex lesions. Percutaneous medical robots have proven to increase efficiency and accuracy and can address these issues. This review is intended to provide an overview of the functionality and components of these robotic systems for operators learning to use them. We begin by discussing the functions of robots in percutaneous interventions and how they operate. After this discussion, greater focus is then placed on the technical components of robots which help achieve these functions.
