Abstract

OBJECTIVE: This paper describes an ultrasound image navigation robotic prostate brachytherapy system. It uses a 2D ultrasound (US) probe rigidly fixed to a robotic needle insertion mechanism. Combined with the US probe registration and image registration, this system will help to navigate the prostate brachytherapy to increase the inserting accuracy.
