Jan has extensive experience (+15 years) in the field of interventional MRI. He has worked for over 10 years to help improving prostate cancer diagnosis by providing new innovative diagnostic tools to Urologist and Radiologists.
The revolutionary new way of taking
PROSTATE BIOPSIES
HIGHER ACCURACYFast and precise in-bore targeting of tumor suspicious areas within the prostate gland, based on near realtime MR images.
|
LESS STRESSDue to decreased procedure time and increased accuracy, the biopsy session is less stressful for the patient improving diagnostic outcome.
|
LESS TIMEUsing our unique solution will significantly reduce procedure time and thereby provide significant cost savings to our customers.

GET THE OPTIMAL DIAGNOSIS
Soteria Medical BV’s goal is to improve MR-guided biopsies (MRgBx) of the prostate. Soteria has developed a unique new system for MR-guided interventions - based on a novel, patented motor principle.
We are enabling the Physician to perform a targeted prostate biopsy – using the best possible imaging modality with the same image quality for diagnostic imaging and biopsy guidance – to further improve prostate cancer diagnosis. Our unique robot makes it able to detect and target the most aggressive part of the lesions and therefore improved and accurate MRgBx will help advance diagnostic results, followed by the best possible treatment for the patient. |

WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY

The RCM allows us to achieve high precision biopsies in a time-efficient manner and with that it is greatly appreciated by our patients, clinicians and radiologists alike. Confident high precision biopsies reduces the number of unnecessary cores to a minimum and maximizes the chances of retrieving tissue representative of the patient’s disease. At the same time it generates reliable feedback to the radiologist which we consider of paramount importance for optimizing the performance of the MR-diagnostics. Moreover, the efficiency of the procedure enables us to apply it whenever we expect it to outperform TRUS-biopsies, that is in most of our patients. With this, the system has revolutionized our practice and propelled us into a new era in the quest for stratifying prognosis. Dr. J.S. Reijnen Radiologist, Sørlandet Sykehus, Kristiansand, Norway
The remote-controlled manipulator finally allows us to implement MRI guided prostate biopsies in our daily clinical routine. Despite little expertise in MR guided interventions, the training and support provided by Soteria Medical and the ease of use of the system quickly allowed us to do MR guided biopsies within 30 minutes. Soteria Medical delivers excellent and fast service and support and their personal contact has been very helpful during the learning process. The RCM allows us to deliver the best diagnostic tool for prostate cancer detection to our patients and clinical partners.
