Several key technologies are developed thanks to SPIRITS for interventional radiology and more generally for hybrid image-guided surgery:
3D Printing of multimaterial polymer structures for the design of highly-integrated robotic structures. Picture on the left represents a proof-of-concept developed at ICube-INSA Strasbourg (©ICUBE). |

Several key technologies are developed thanks to SPIRITS for interventional radiology and more generally for hybrid image-guided surgery:
- 3D printing technologies and their combination. Multimaterial polymer production and metal printing are being considered for manufacturing of robotic technology.
- Hydraulic actuation and compliant mechanisms. Their combination is considered to design efficient robotic structures.
- Tactile feedback technology for providing new information to the radiologist.
