abstract = {We present the proof-of-concept prototype of a prostate biopsy robot to be used inside a conventional high-field MRI scanner. A three degree-of-freedom (DOF) mechanical device translates and rotates inside the rectum and enters a needle into the body, and steers the needle to a target point pre-selected by the user. The device is guided by real-time images from the scanner. Networked computers process the medical images and enable the clinician to control the motion of the mechanical device that is operated remotely from outside the imager. The system is also applicable to localized prostate therapy and also demonstrates potential in other intra-cavitary procedures.},

abstract = {This paper reports an interactive software interface for visualization, planning, and monitoring of intra-prostatic needle placement procedures performed with a robotic assistant device inside standard cylindrical high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. We use anatomical visualization and image processing techniques to plan the process and apply active tracking coils to localize the robot in realtime to monitor its motion relative to the anatomy. The interventional system is in Phase-I clinical trials for prostate biopsy and marker seed placement. The system concept, mechanical design, and in-vivo canine studies have been presented earlier [6, 10, 14]. The software architecture and three-dimensional application software interface discussed in this paper are new additions. This software was tested on pre-recorded patient data.},

abstract = {Numerous studies have shown that transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy fails to detect cancer in significant numbers, since contemporary ultrasound cannot resolve target lesions [1]. Improved biopsy targeting with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could potentially overcome the shortcomings of ultrasound for the diagnosis and local therapy for prostate cancer. To utilize such advantages, a number of MRI-compatible prostate intervention systems were introduced. However, previously reported systems require the patient to be removed from the MRI scanner during the interventional procedure. A fully actuated robot, however, enables both imaging and interventional procedures to be performed entirely inside the scanner without removing the patient. Moreover, a fully actuated robot could simplify and speed up the procedure; allow for real-time needle insertion visualization; enable detection of prostate deformation, misalignment, and deflection of the needle; and allow for onthe-spot corrections to needle placements.},
