This study tested a special dye called IS-002 that makes prostate cancer cells glow under near-infrared light during robotic surgery. The goal was to help surgeons see and remove all cancer while sparing healthy tissue. Fifty-nine men with prostate cancer took part. The study com…

This study tested a new way to biopsy small lung nodules (≤2 cm) using a robotic system called Ion and a special 3D imaging machine called Cios Spin. The goal was to see how well the system could guide the biopsy needle into the nodule and accurately diagnose lung cancer. The stu…

This study tested a dye called IS-001 that is injected into the bloodstream to make the ureters (tubes from kidney to bladder) glow under special imaging during robotic gynecological surgery. The goal was to help surgeons see the ureters more clearly and avoid accidentally injuri…

This study tested whether a robotic bronchoscopy system, guided by real-time 3D CT scans, can more accurately biopsy lung nodules. 200 adults with suspicious lung nodules took part. The goal was to see how often the biopsy tool reached the exact nodule location before sampling, w…

This study tested a new imaging system called JURA System v. 1.0 in 20 adults having minimally invasive abdominal surgery. The goal was to see if the system could produce clear images during the procedure. It was an early feasibility study, not designed to treat or cure any disea…

This study looked at whether 3D models, made from CT or MRI scans, help surgeons plan operations for lung cancer or rectal cancer. Researchers reviewed 80 past surgeries and asked surgeons to compare their plans using 3D models versus standard 2D images. The goal was to see if th…
