SOTERIA MEDICAL 

Soteria Medical B.V. is a Spin Off from Radboudumc in Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
​Many years of development and clinical research have resulted in a new approach to perform MRI guided interventions by utilizing a robotic device, which is fully MR-compatible and allows real time positioning in the MR scanner.

The scope of the company is the development, production and sales of medical devices and instruments - specifically in the field of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and MRI guided interventions. Soteria’s initial product is a robotic manipulator for MRI guided prostate biopsies and interventions - utilizing a newly developed and patented motor principle. 

​The innovations of the company will benefit patients worldwide, especially patients with early stage prostate cancer, who have not received sufficient diagnosis with the current standard of care.

SOTERIA was the goddess or spirit (daimon) of safety, and of deliverance and
preservation from harm.
