Development of a Novel Robot for Transperineal Needle Based Interventions: Focal Therapy, Brachytherapy and Prostate Biopsies [PDF]
Journal of Urology 188 (2012) 1369-1374, 2012 Purpose: We report what is to our knowledge the initial experience with a new 3-dimensional ultrasound robotic system for prostate brachytherapy assistance, focal therapy and prostate biopsies. Its ability to track prostate motion intraoperatively allows it to manage motions and guide needles to predefined targets.

Magnetic resonance imaging during warm ex vivo kidney perfusion
Artificial Organs, Volume 47, Issue 1, Page 105-116, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Background The shortage of donor organs for transplantation remains a worldwide problem. The utilization of suboptimal deceased donors enlarges the pool of potential organs, yet consequently, clinicians face the difficult decision of whether these sub‐optimal organs are of sufficient quality for transplantation. Novel technologies could play a
