ARTEMIS
3D Semi-Robotic Prostate Fusion Biopsy System
Overview
ARTEMIS is a pioneer and recognized leader in prostate image guided fusion biopsy and targeted therapy with over 10 years of clinical expertise and persuasive published clinical results.
By compiling Radiology, Urology and Pathology data, the ARTEMIS Fusion Biopsy System has set a new standard in comprehensive prostate care.
In addition to image guided fusion biopsy, the ARTEMIS platform provides applications for further focal therapies, such as HIFU, cryo and brachy treatments.
3D semi-robotic Arm with integrated electronic-mechanical tracking
The ARTEMIS device differs from others in that it incorporates a semi-robotic mechanical arm with electronic encoders used to scan, digitize and track the prostate in real-time as well as to navigate needles prospectively and precisely.
Easy and fast switching between transrectal and transperineal modules gives urologists the flexibility to choose the preferred biopsy method and to guarantee personalized treatment for each patient.
Fusion of mpMRI with real-time ultrasound images together with semi-robotic, electronic-mechanical tracking of the organ and needles result in clinical advantages not previously possible:
- significant improvement in the accuracy of prostate biopsy;
- precise needle navigation to identified lesions;
- exact reproducing of treatment for analysis and re-biopsy.
A validated interface between Radiology and Urology guarantees both a precise segmentation of prostate and lesions (ROIs) as well as a quick and easy transfer of Radiology data into the ARTEMIS fusion biopsy system.

The ARTEMIS device differs from others in that it incorporates a semi-robotic mechanical arm with electronic encoders used to scan, digitize and track the prostate in real-time as well as to navigate needles prospectively and precisely.
Rigid and elastic registration of MRI, PET-CT, PSMA PET-MRI to real-time US images
Enables a high precision fusion as well as elimination of prostate deformation.
Genuine real-time organ tracking and prospective needle navigation
Integrated live tracking of prostate during treatment as well as motion compensation. Real-time, accurate needle navigation and registration. Precise targeting of suspect lesions in reproducible manner.
Current and prior biopsy workflow
Robust, guided workflow for current as well as for prior biopsies. Prior biopsies can be fused with the current plan and compared in order to either analyse or re-biopsy individual points.
