Trans-arterial interventions are an increasingly utilized approach for diagnosing and treating a wide range of pathologies, providing superior patient outcomes compared to traditional open surgical methods. Recent advancements in tracking and navigation technologies have significantly refined these interventions, enhancing procedural precision and success. Advanced imaging modalities, such as fluoroscopy, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), are frequently used strategies offering critical real-time guidance.

Remote-controlled and teleoperated robotic systems mark transformative advancements in interventional radiology (IR), with the potential to enhance precision, reduce radiation exposure, and expand access to care. By integrating robotic devices with imaging guidance, these systems enable precise instrument placement and navigation, thereby improving the efficacy and safety of minimally invasive procedures. Remote-controlled and teleoperated robotic systems-operated by clinicians using control interfaces from within or adjacent to the procedure room-are being adopted for both percutaneous and endovascular interventions.

An image guided robot only becomes fully useful with integrated software leveraging image fusion. Image fusion is the process of registering and superimposing imaging data in the same coordinate space and can be helpful to image-guided robotic interventions. Effective percutaneous robotic procedures can utilize real-time image guidance and navigation which are powered by fusion technologies.
