Abstract
PURPOSE: Ultrasound (US)-guided robotic systems can reduce the reliance on the experience and skills of surgeons and enable automatic and accurate percutaneous puncture. Two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) US guidance have various advantages and disadvantages. The planned puncture path in the US data directly affects the puncture quality and tissue injury risk. It is difficult to define the optimal path in 2D US images and achieve accurate and safe puncture under the guidance of 3D US volume. This study aims to propose a robotic system guided by 3D-2D US to realize accurate and safe percutaneous puncture.
