EPIONE®: Robotic-Assisted Tumor Ablation

Precision Robotics Transforming Interventional Oncology
EPIONE is a robotic system with six degrees of freedom (6-DOF), purpose-built for CT-guided interventional oncology.

This advanced platform integrates precise robotic control with real-time imaging, intelligent navigation, and image fusion to plan, target, and deliver percutaneous tumor ablations with remarkable accuracy.

Designed to reach complex or hard-to-access lesions, EPIONE enables sub-millimeter targeting through a streamlined, single-click workflow. The result is a safer, more efficient, and consistently precise approach to minimally invasive cancer treatment.

How EPIONE® Works

A four-phase workflow designed for accuracy, safety, and physician control—every step of the way.

Plan

Define tumor margins with multimodal imaging
Set entry point; simulate ablation zone in 3-D

Target

Register robot to patient anatomy
Synchronize probe alignment to respiration

Deliver

Deploy probe along planned trajectory
Execute ablation under real-time imaging

Confirm

Acquire post-op CT; verify ablation margin
Overlay with pre-op images for final review

Why EPIONE® Matters

UC San Diego is the only facility in San Diego offering robotic-guided ablation using the EPIONE® system. This advanced platform enhances both precision and safety—enabling accurate targeting of lesions while minimizing trauma to healthy tissue during minimally invasive procedures.

“Whether treating complex tumors or navigating delicate anatomy for other procedures, robotic assistance ensures a higher level of control and confidence, delivering better outcomes for our patients.”
