Abstract

This paper describes a system for dynamic intraoperative prostate brachytherapy using 3D ultrasound guidance with robot assistance. The system consists of 3D transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) imaging, a robot and software for prostate segmentation, 3D dose planning, oblique needle segmentation and tracking, seed segmentation, and dynamic re-planning and verification. The needle targeting accuracy of the system was 0.79 mm ± 0.32 mm in a phantom study. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
