This study presents a robotic system for precise prostate brachytherapy, utilizing 3D ultrasound for real-time guidance. The system achieved high needle targeting accuracy, improving dynamic treatment delivery.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Robotics in Medicine
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Prostate brachytherapy requires precise seed placement for effective radiation delivery.
  • Intraoperative adjustments are challenging due to the dynamic nature of the prostate gland.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel robotic system for dynamic intraoperative prostate brachytherapy.
  • To evaluate the system's accuracy in needle targeting and seed placement.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a system integrating 3D transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) imaging, robotic assistance, and specialized software.
  • Implementation of prostate segmentation, 3D dose planning, and real-time needle tracking.
  • Dynamic re-planning and verification capabilities for intraoperative adjustments.
