In cases involving highly infectious deceased individuals, postmortem tissue sampling for research purposes can be conducted through the closed body bag using CT-guided robotic control. The NATON methods platform is currently collaborating with a team from Hamburg University of Technology (TU Hamburg) to develop a new prototype that allows for precise remote control of the biopsy robot using virtual reality. At the Institute of Legal Medicine at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, we have now been able to test initial biopsy extractions using VR goggles and controllers.
