Introduction This was a prospective, first-in-human trial to evaluate the feasibility and safety of insertion of biopsy introducer needles with our robot during CT fluoroscopy–guided biopsy in humans. Materials and methods Eligible patients were adults with a lesion ≥ 10 mm in an extremity or the tr...
