ARC project

An innovative passive steerable needle for accurate multimodal image-guided percutaneous interventions whose stiffness can be controlled at the fingertip

The ARC solution will not only help healthcare professionals by facilitating their practice with non-linear insertion approaches but will also offer many advantages from a medical point of view:

---
Passive needle as safe as standard needles.
Reduced trauma and infection risks, increased accuracy, and reduced operation time.
Size, material and configurations designed on demand depending on the application.
Multimodal compatibility (Fluoroscopy, CT scan, US scan, MRI)
Coaxial needle tool can be adapted on demand
---

This innovation is the brainchild of Dr. Ing. Lennart RUBBERT (ICube at INSA Strasbourg - UMR CNRS University of Strasbourg 7357 / France) and Dr. Ing. Charles BAUR (Instant-Lab at EPFL / Switzerland), who both have a significant experience in MedTech projects

Caption photos easily. On the left, a road goes through a tunnel. Middle, leaves artistically fall in a hipster photoshoot. Right, in another hipster photoshoot, a lumberjack grasps a handful of pine needles.
This image can also have a caption. It's like magic.

You can also put regular text between your rows of images, even citations (Einstein & Taub, 1950). Say you wanted to write a bit about your project before you posted the rest of the images. You describe how you toiled, sweated, bled for your project, and then… you reveal its glory in the next row of images.

You can also have artistically styled 2/3 + 1/3 images, like these.

The code is simple. Just wrap your images with <div class="col-sm"> and place them inside <div class="row"> (read more about the Bootstrap Grid system). To make images responsive, add img-fluid class to each; for rounded corners and shadows use rounded and z-depth-1 classes. Here’s the code for the last row of images above:

<div class="row justify-content-sm-center">
  <div class="col-sm-8 mt-3 mt-md-0">
    {% include figure.liquid path="assets/img/6.jpg" title="example image" class="img-fluid rounded z-depth-1" %}
  </div>
  <div class="col-sm-4 mt-3 mt-md-0">
    {% include figure.liquid path="assets/img/11.jpg" title="example image" class="img-fluid rounded z-depth-1" %}
  </div>
</div>
