Area of Science:

  • Medical Robotics
  • Oncology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Prostate brachytherapy uses oblique-tip needles for radioactive seed delivery.
  • Needle deflection during insertion compromises treatment accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method to enhance precision in prostate brachytherapy seed implantation.
  • To minimize needle deflection during radioactive seed delivery.

Main Methods:

  • A modular robotic system was developed.
  • Preoperative planning combined with real-time intraoperative corrections.
  • An adaptive PID controller with reinforcement learning was used for corrective forces.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method reduced average seed implantation error to 1.92 mm.
  • Standard error for seed implantation was 0.56 mm.
  • The system effectively minimized needle deflection.

Conclusions:

  • The robotic system and control method improve seed implantation precision.
  • This approach shows promise for enhancing prostate cancer therapy outcomes.
