About us
The resulting EndoScout system provides a “plug & track” system and accessories that are compatible with any MRI scanner and allow tracking and navigation of interventional devices during MRI scan. The EndoScout tracking system is fully developed and received FDA and CE clearance in 2004 for MRI-guided surgical interventions. The system has been installed for clinical and research applications in more than 20 scanners in leading medical centers in the USA, Europe, Japan and China. Hundreds of patients were treated under MRI guidance aided by the EndoScout system. During recent years the EndoScout system has been developed and tested for retrospective and prospective motion artifact elimination, funded by SBIR grants.
During the course of the development of the EndoScout system Robin Medical has been working with the leading manufacturers of MRI scanners, including GE Healthcare, Philips Healthcare, and Siemens Healthcare, to ensure compatibility of the EndoScout with a wide range of MRI scanners.
