Robots take the wheel: could Remote-Controlled angiography slash radiation for doctors?
NCT ID NCT07696936
First seen Jul 10, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether robot-assisted cerebral angiography is as safe and effective as the standard manual procedure. The robot allows doctors to operate from a shielded room, potentially reducing their radiation exposure. About 156 adults with suspected brain blood vessel issues will be randomly assigned to either robot-assisted or manual angiography. The study measures success rates, complications, and radiation doses for both patients and doctors.
What this could mean

- Active substance
- Robot-assisted angiographic system
- What this could lead to
- If successful, robot-assisted angiography could become a standard safer alternative, reducing radiation exposure for medical staff while maintaining patient safety.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, early-stage trial. Robot technology may have technical issues, and results may not apply to all hospitals or patient types.
