Electromagnetic Tracking for a CT-Compatible Robotic Needle Placement System

CT-guided needle placement still runs on a stop-and-check rhythm. A clinician takes a scan, advances the needle a little, steps out of the room, scans again, and adjusts. In a difficult access path, that loop can repeat several times before the needle reaches its target, and every pass adds time and imaging.

PFA Isn’t the Challenge Anymore, Precision Is

Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) dominated the conversation at HRS (Heart Rhythm Society) 2026. The energy modality has clearly moved beyond early validation and into widespread adoption, with strong clinical data and accelerating momentum across the electrophysiology community.
