Fig. 1From: Reduction of operator radiation exposure using a passive robotic device during fluoroscopy-guided arterial puncture: an experimental study in a swine modelPassive arm and needle holding assembly. a Seven-degree of freedom (DoF) passive arm with 1-DoF needle holding assembly. Long angle driver roller allows the physician to perform arterial puncturing away from the x-ray source. Base could be easily fixed on the patient bed. b Three-dimensional model of the passive arm and needle holding assemblyBack to article page
