Automatic planning of needle placement for robot-assisted percutaneous procedures.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Percutaneous procedures allow interventional radiologists to perform diagnoses or treatments guided by an imaging device, typically a computed tomography (CT) scanner with a high spatial resolution. To reduce exposure to radiations and impro...

Evaluation of a CT-Guided Robotic System for Precise Percutaneous Needle Insertion.

Journal of vascular and interventional radiology : JVIR
PURPOSE: To assess overall targeting accuracy for CT-guided needle insertion using prototype robotic system for common target sites.

Flexible robotic catheters in the visceral segment of the aorta: advantages and limitations.

The Journal of cardiovascular surgery
Flexible robotic catheters are an emerging technology which provide an elegant solution to the challenges of conventional endovascular intervention. Originally developed for interventional cardiology and electrophysiology procedures, remotely steerab...

Flexible robotics in pelvic disease: does the catheter increase applicability of embolic therapy?

The Journal of cardiovascular surgery
Interventional radiology procedures, equipment, and techniques as well as image guidance have developed dramatically over the last few decades. The evidence for minimally invasive interventions in vascular and oncology fields is rapidly growing and s...

Coil Embolization of a Renal Aneurysm Using a Minimally Invasive Endovascular Robotic System.

Vascular and endovascular surgery
We present a case demonstrating the use of an endovascular robotic system in the treatment of a saccular renal artery aneurysm located at the renal hilum in a young patient.

Performance of a Robotic Assistance Device in Computed Tomography-Guided Percutaneous Diagnostic and Therapeutic Procedures.

Cardiovascular and interventional radiology
PURPOSE: To evaluate a commercially available robotic assistance device for computed tomography-guided diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, compared to regular, manually performed CT scan-guided interventions in terms of precision, exposure to r...

Impact of robotics and a suspended lead suit on physician radiation exposure during percutaneous coronary intervention.

Cardiovascular revascularization medicine : including molecular interventions
BACKGROUND: Reports of left-sided brain malignancies among interventional cardiologists have heightened concerns regarding physician radiation exposure. This study evaluated the impact of a suspended lead suit and robotic system on physician radiatio...

Automatic entry point planning for robotic post-mortem CT-based needle placement.

Forensic science, medicine, and pathology
INTRODUCTION: Post-mortem computed tomography guided placement of co-axial introducer needles allows for the extraction of tissue and liquid samples for histological and toxicological analyses. Automation of this process can increase the accuracy and...

First-in-human robotic percutaneous coronary intervention for unprotected left main stenosis.

Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions : official journal of the Society for Cardiac Angiography & Interventions
The safety and feasibility of robotically-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for simple coronary lesions has been demonstrated. The CorPath robotic system (Corpath 200, Corindus, Waltham, MA) consists of a robotic arm mounted on the ca...
