Needle and Biopsy Robots: a Review

Abstract Purpose of the review Robotics is a rapidly advancing field, and its introduction in healthcare can have multitude benefits for clinical practice. Especially, applications depending on radiologist’s accuracy precision, such as percutaneous interventions, may profit. This paper provides an overview recent robot-assisted solutions. Recent findings Percutaneous interventions are relatively simple quality procedure increases lot by introducing robotics due to improved precision. The success heavily dependent ability merge pre- intraoperative images, accurate estimation current target location allows exploit robot’s capabilities. Summary Despite much research, application some branches not commonplace yet. advances robotic solutions imaging highlighted, they will pave way more widespread implementation
