Needle insertion is commonly performed in minimally invasive medical procedures such as biopsy and radiation cancer treatment. During such procedures, accurate needle tip placement is critical for correct diagnosis or successful treatment. Accurate placement of the needle tip inside tissue is challenging, especially when the target moves and anatomical obstacles must be avoided. We develop a needle steering system capable of autonomously and accurately guiding a steerable needle using two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound images. The needle is steered to a moving target while avoiding moving obstacles in a three-dimensional (3D) non-static environment. Using a 2D ultrasound imaging device, our system accurately tracks the needle tip motion in 3D space in order to estimate the tip pose. The needle tip pose is used by a rapidly exploring random tree-based motion planner to compute a feasible needle path to the target. The motion planner is sufficiently fast such that replanning can be performed repeatedly in a closed-loop manner. This enables the system to correct for perturbations in needle motion, and movement in obstacle and target locations. Our needle steering experiments in a soft-tissue phantom achieves maximum targeting errors of ± mm (without obstacles) and ± mm (with a moving obstacle).
针插入操作常用于活检和放射癌症治疗等微创医疗程序中。在这些程序中,准确的针尖放置对于正确诊断或成功治疗至关重要。将针尖准确放置在组织内部具有挑战性,尤其是当目标移动且必须避开解剖学障碍物时。我们开发了一种针引导系统,该系统能够使用二维(2D)超声图像自主且准确地引导可操纵针。在三维(3D)非静态环境中,针被引导至移动目标,同时避开移动的障碍物。使用2D超声成像设备,我们的系统在3D空间中准确跟踪针尖运动,以估计针尖姿态。基于快速扩展随机树的运动规划器使用针尖姿态来计算到达目标的可行针路径。运动规划器速度足够快,使得能够以闭环方式重复进行重新规划。这使系统能够校正针运动、障碍物位置和目标位置的扰动。我们在软组织模型中的针引导实验实现了最大靶向误差为±毫米(无障碍物时)和±毫米(有移动障碍物时)。
