The workflow that we are aiming for is as follows:
• Place the robot holding the registration tool in the imaging volume with the patient.
• Take a 3D scan of the patient
• (Automatically) register the robot to the imaging system by identifying the tool
geometry in the image
• When needed, map the interventional image to a diagnostic data set
• Select where to insert the needle and the target and send these coordinates to
the robot
• The robot moves into position and the needle can be inserted through needle
guide held by the robot
The combination of the planning software and the robot execution ensures that the desired precision is achieved. It also speeds up the needle placement after the planning, because the robot can reach the correct position and orientation within seconds. A thorough understanding of the robot capabilities and application programming and has ensured this successful integration of planning software and robot hardware.
At RSNA Chicago, November 29 - December 4, we will present the planning software and demonstrate how the robot executes its positioning task when given a specific target.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
