Abstract:
PURPOSE:Precise needle placement is an important task during several medical procedures. Ultrasound imaging is often used to guide the needle toward the target region in soft tissue. This task remains challenging due to the user's dependence on image quality, limited field of view, moving target, and moving needle. In this paper, we present a novel dual-robot framework for robotic needle insertions under robotic ultrasound guidance. METHOD:We integrated force-controlled ultrasound image acquisition, registration of preoperative and intraoperative images, vision-based robot control, and target localization, in combination with a novel needle tracking algorithm. The framework allows robotic needle insertion to target a preoperatively defined region of interest while enabling real-time visualization and adaptive trajectory planning to provide safe and quick interactions. We assessed the framework by considering both static and moving targets embedded in water and tissue-mimicking gelatin. RESULTS:The presented dual-robot tracking algorithms allow for accurate needle placement, namely to target the region of interest with an error around 1 mm. CONCLUSION:To the best of our knowledge, we show the first use of two independent robots, one for imaging, the other for needle insertion, that are simultaneously controlled using image processing algorithms. Experimental results show the feasibility and demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of the process.
