In this paper, to harness the possibility of real-time guidance of MRI, a robotic system has been developed to perform transrectal prostate biopsy inside a 1.5-T closed bore scanner. A specially developed MR pulse sequence is capable of tracking the needle location in real time while dynamically updating the scan planes to always include the needle and target.
在本文中,为了利用磁共振成像(MRI)实时引导的可能性,已开发出一种机器人系统,用于在1.5-T 封闭孔径扫描仪内进行经直肠前列腺活检。一种专门开发的磁共振脉冲序列能够实时跟踪针的位置,同时动态更新扫描平面,始终将针和目标包括在内。
