“…Because of their high accuracy, robots have been used to enhance the outcome of a range of medical interventions (4). In combination with CT, they allow for precise needle placement for brachytherapy or biopsy (5,6). Coupled with a surface scanner, robots can help to fully automate the task of generating highly detailed surface models (7).…”

“…Robotic assistance is currently in use to improve the trajectory planning, targeting of desired lesions with an aim of increasing the accuracy of needle placement, and increased diagnostic yield with reducing complication rates and radiation exposure. 19 While earlier robots required extensive installation and were often cumbersome to operate and time-consuming and economically disadvantageous, 20 21 the recent robotic systems, such as the MAXIO robotic system, require minimal effort for installation and operation, reducing the complexity of the procedure. The goal of our study was to evaluate the technical success, radiation dose, and safety of this robotic system in planning and biopsy of lung lesions.…”

Purpose This article evaluates the feasibility, safety, and technical success of robot-assisted computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous lung biopsy. Methods CT-guided lung biopsy was performed after clearance from the institutional ethical committee in 60 patients who were assigned to two groups, group A (robot-assisted biopsy) and group B (conventional CT-guided biopsy). The accuracy of needle placement, number of needle adjustments, radiation dose, procedure time, and complications were compared in both these groups. Results In group A, the procedure duration was significantly shorter (p = 0.001), dose length product, lower (p = 0.001), accuracy of needle placement, superior (p = 0.003), and complication rates were lower (p = 0.002) compared with conventional CT guidedbiopsy. Conclusion Robotic assistance during CT lung biopsy is associated with improved targeting of lesions with more diagnostic yield and less procedure duration, radiation exposure, and fewer complications compared with conventional CT lung biopsy.

“…Interventional robotic systems have been deployed with all existing imaging modalities, in a wide variety of medical interventions. Existing literature provides a comprehensive portrait of the evolution of these systems [36,[39][40][41]. In the success or failure of an image-guided interventional robotic system, no factor is more important than the means of integration between the robot and imaging system, which fundamentally determines the usability.…”

Image-Guided Interventional Robotics: Lost in Translation?

Interventional robotic systems have been deployed with all existing imaging modalities, in an expansive portfolio of therapies and surgeries. Over the years, literature reviews have painted a comprehensive portrait of the translation of the underlying technology from research to practice. While many of these robots performed promisingly in pre-clinical settings, only a handful of them managed to evolve further, and break through the commercialization boundary, and even fewer reached a wide-scale adoption. Despite the undeniable success of service robotics in general, and particularly in some sophisticated medical applications, image-guided robotics' impact remained modest compared to other surgical areas, especially laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery. This article aims to embrace the stateof-the-art on one hand, and to provide a comprehensive narrative to the situation described, to support future system developers and facilitating the translation from scientific research to applied clinical technology development.
