Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Robotics and Control
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Accurate needle placement is crucial for effective prostate brachytherapy.
  • Needle deflection during insertion into soft tissue can compromise treatment accuracy.
  • Existing model-based methods have limitations in precisely estimating needle bending.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To experimentally evaluate a fusion-based needle deflection estimation method.
  • To determine the accuracy and robustness of the method in prostate brachytherapy simulations.
  • To investigate the impact of insertion speed and tissue properties on estimation performance.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a method combining a kinematic deflection model with dual electromagnetic trackers (tip and base).
  • Manually inserted needles into prostate phantoms with varying stiffness at different speeds.
  • Utilized Kalman filters to fuse sensor data and validated against fluoroscopy ground truth.

Main Results:

  • The fusion-based method demonstrated verified accuracy and robustness across tested ranges of insertion speed (8-34 mm/s) and tissue stiffness (50-150 kPa).
  • Achieved significant reductions in needle tip position error ([Formula: see text] %) and cumulative deflection error ([Formula: see text] %) compared to model-based methods.
  • Needle deflection ranged from 5-8 mm at a 76 mm insertion depth.

Conclusions:

  • Fusion of electromagnetic sensor data significantly enhances needle deflection estimation accuracy over model-based approaches.
  • The developed method shows strong potential for clinical application in guiding needle placement during medical interventions.
  • Particularly promising for improving precision in prostate brachytherapy procedures.
