| Abstract |
This systematic review explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics within interventional cardiology, specifically focusing on cardiac catheterization laboratories (cath labs). The study examines benefits such as enhanced procedural precision, diagnostic accuracy, and reduced operator radiation exposure, along with challenges related to cost, training, and workflow integration. Key areas include robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary interventions (R-PCI), AI-driven imaging, and emerging training programs for allied health professionals. Findings from the reviewed literature show that AI improves diagnostic support while robotics increases procedural efficiency and safety. Despite these advances, the study emphasizes the need for structured educational initiatives and policy efforts to ensure successful adoption. The thesis proposes a new academic course, "AI and Robotics in the Cath Lab," to prepare technologists for their evolving role in this technologically advanced clinical environment. |
