Robot assisted catheter insertion (RACI) is one kind of Micro Invasion Surgery (MIS), which is the key technology of Transcatheter Arterial ChemoEmbolization (TACE). The system consists of guide wire feeding and detecting, force feed back, imaging and image processing etc. Currently the active catheter system is much more mature but too expensive to apply in hospital at home in the short term, however, the less researched and cheaper passive catheter system shows a bright future for research and application.
