ANT-X
Overview
ANT-X is NDR's first interventional robot integrating C-arm fluoroscopy and AI software to assist clinicians in safe and accurate percutaneous needle placement. It fully automates system calibration and needle alignment with a single X-ray image, allowing clinicians to focus solely on controlling insertion depth. The system achieves accuracy up to +/-2mm, reduces first-attempt failure, and decreases radiation exposure by 40% compared to free-hand procedures. It is compatible with all C-Arm machines and applicable in urology, neurology, orthopedics, and other interventional procedures.
