Concept, Design, and Preclinical Testing of a Remote-Control Robotic System for Transesophageal Echocardiography

The ROB'E RCR system for TEE overcomes the limitations of conventional IE by using a RCR approach that eliminates the need for the echocardiographer to be physically present in the operating room. Thus, it significantly reduces radiation exposure and demonstrates its capabilities to improve image quality, reproducibility, and overall safety in IE.
