Prostate biopsy and needle-directed prostate therapies are currently performed free-handed or with needle external templates under ultrasound guidance. Direct image-guided intervention robots are modern instruments that have the potential to substantially enhance these procedures. These may increase the accuracy and repeatability with which needles are placed in the gland. The authors' group has developed a robot for precise prostate targeting that operates remotely alongside the patient in the magnetic resonance imaging scanner, as guided according to the image.
目前,前列腺活检和针引导前列腺治疗是在超声引导下徒手进行或使用针外模板进行的。直接图像引导介入机器人是现代仪器,有可能显著改进这些操作。这可能会提高将针插入腺体的准确性和可重复性。作者团队开发了一种用于精确前列腺靶向的机器人,该机器人在磁共振成像扫描仪中与患者并行远程操作,并根据图像进行引导。
