Introduction And Objectives: Challenging percutaneous renal punctures to gain access to the kidney requiring guidance by cross-sectional imaging. To test the feasibility of robotic-assisted CT-guided punctures (RP) and compare them with manual laser-guided punctures (MP) with Uro Dyna-CT (Siemens Healthcare Solutions, Erlangen, Germany).
Material And Methods: The silicon kidney phantom contained target lesions of three sizes.
