Problem
Percutaneous procedures, such as biopsies and targeted drug delivery, rely on manual needle placement, which can be challenging due to anatomical complexity and limited visibility, leading to potential inaccuracies and increased patient discomfort. Current methods often require multiple attempts, prolonging procedure times and increasing radiation exposure for both the patient and the clinician.
Solution
NDR Medical Technology develops AI-powered robotic systems, ANT-C and ANT-X, designed to automate and enhance the precision of percutaneous procedures. The ANT-C system utilizes AI and CT-scan images to automate lesion detection, needle path planning, and needle targeting. The ANT-X system integrates C-arm fluoroscopy and AI software to guide clinicians in achieving accurate percutaneous needle placement. These systems aim to improve clinical outcomes by reducing the number of attempts needed for successful needle placement, minimizing patient discomfort, and optimizing workflow efficiency for interventional radiologists.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes interventional radiologists and surgeons performing percutaneous procedures who seek to improve accuracy, reduce patient discomfort, and enhance workflow efficiency.
