Interventional Systems (iSYS) articles
Interventional Systems finished the implementation of the IraSME project “E-GantryMate: Compact MR-compatible device for MRI-guided percutaneous needle interventions”.
The project kick-off meeting took place in October 2019 at the company’s office in Wattens, Austria. It aimed at expanding and motorizing the MR-compatible manual targeting device previously developed by INS between 2015 and 2019.
The project ended this Spring with a fina
Micromate™ Case Report series presents real cases performed by the physicians currently using our full-fledged robotic platform for percutaneous procedures.
Today, we join Dr. Alexander Kupferthaler, Interventional Radiologist at the Ordensklinikum Linz – Barmherzige Schwestern, for a robot-guided bone biopsy.

Why is there a shortage of CT contrast?
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to be the root cause of disruptions in the global supply chain.
This time, it led to the temporary shutdown of a production facility in Shanghai, creating a severe shortage of iodinated contrast media (ICM) and affecting imaging facilities – especially in the US, with the
Interventional Systems is proud to announce the signature of a strategic collaboration agreement with the Johns Hopkins University’s Whiting School of Engineering for the development of novel solutions to enhance the accuracy of robotic-assisted percutaneous procedures.
The research team, led by Professor Axel Krieger and Lidia Al-Zogbi, will not only investigate ways to improve the Mi
Interventional Systems announced the newest addition to Micromate™’s product suite: a planning and navigation station that will make the needle-based intervention miniature robot available for use with CT scanners.
The new addition to Micromate™ makes it possible for physicians to rely on pre- and intraoperative scans to plan the intervention. These planning capabiliti
Micromate™ Case Report series presents real cases performed by the physicians currently using the world’s smallest robot for percutaneous procedures.
Today, we join Drs. Gerlig Widmann and Martin Freund, Interventional Radiologists at the Tirol Kliniken, for a robot-guided type II endoleak embolization.

It’s the beginning of a new year, so it’s also time to wrap up 2021 and have a close look into what’s coming up for 2022!
2021 sure came with a mix between fear and expectation, but we’re happy to tell you there’s more more things to be happy than sad about on our end.
This one is gonna take a little longer than usual but make sure to read through the whole thing – we have a huge announcement for 2022. Shall we begin?
Interventional Oncology, the 4th pillar of modern cancer care
Until the late 90s, modern cancer care consisted of three pillars of treatment: surgery (through tumor resection), radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. These pillars address tumors directly, removing or destroying lesions. Although immunotherapy specialists devised ingenious ways to use the p
Our Value-Based Robotics series advances towards the actual clinical use of robotics and issues concerning practicality and surgeon onboarding and training.
It is generally accepted that robotic surgical systems enable minimally invasive surgery and improve outcomes, including shorter recovery times, less scarring, and reduced healthcare costs.
This being said, the jury is still out o
