Abstract：
PURPOSE:Prostate carcinoma is a commonly diagnosed cancer in men. Nonsurgical treatment of early stage prostate cancer is an important alternative. The use of MRI for tumor cryoablation is of particular interest: it offers lower morbidity compared with other localized techniques. However, the current manual procedure is very time-consuming and has limited accuracy. A novel robotic assistant is therefore designed for prostate cancer cryotherapy treatment under MRI guidance to improve efficiency and accuracy. METHODS:Gesture definition was achieved based on actions of interventional radiologists at University Hospital of Strasbourg. A transperineal approach with a semiautonomous prostatic cryoprobe localization procedure was developed where the needle axis is automatically positioned before manual insertion. The workflow was developed simultaneously with the robotic assistant used for needle positioning. RESULTS:The design and the associated workflow of an original wire-driven manipulator were developed. The device is compact and has a low weight: its overall dimensions in the scanner are 100 × 100 × 40 mm with a weight of 120 g. Very good MRI compatibility was demonstrated. CONCLUSIONS:A novel cryoablation procedure based on the use of a robotic assistant is proposed. The device design was presented with demonstration of MRI compatibility. Further developments include automatic registration and in vivo experimental testing.
