Founded in 1997 and based in Baltimore, MD, Robin Medical Inc., developed a unique system to enable MRI guided interventions, such as biopsies, endoscopy, catheterization, RF ablation, cryotherapy, and other diagnostic and therapeutic interventions on any MRI scanner. Robin Medical's primary product, The EndoScout® Tracking System, is FDA cleared, and it uses the gradient fields of the scanner to determine the position and orientation of miniature sensors inside and outside the body. The system is being used in many leading clinical and research facilities around the world.
Based on the clinically proven EndoScout tracking and navigation technology, Robin Medical developed the following line of products:
SurgiScoutTM - A line of accessories for MRI-guided interventions on open and close bore MRI scanners. Each accessory is dedicated to a specific application or body organ, and includes a custom imaging coil with integrated manipulator to align the device and conduct the procedure. The accessories now offered enable MRI-guided breast, prostate and brain biopsies, inside the bore of the scanner.
MotionScoutTM - Robin Medical developed a motion tracking system, based on the EndoScout technology, to enable real-time correction of motion artifacts during MRI.
CathScoutTM - The use of miniature, 6 degree-of-freedom tracking sensor, opens the way to catheterization under real-time MRI.
EnteroScoutTM - Robin Medical developed the first disposable, MRI-compatible gastro-intestinal endoscope that will enable high resolution MRI and guidance of interventions inside the gastrointestinal tract and adjacent structures (e.g. the pancreas). |
