Augmented Reality System for Training Robotic Prostate Biopsy Needle Guidance
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper is presented an Augmented Reality (AR) system used for training the urologist to insert the biopsy needle using a serial robot as a case study. The AR based training set-up consists of a large screen projection system for the visualisation of the colocated environment and the software that uses one static single-camera marker tracking to colocate the virtual patient in the robot workspace and to provide guidance instructions for the urologist to perform the biopsy needle steering. The presented AR system has the potential to become a valuable education and training tool for users, helping them to acquire robotic operation skills that can be applied to robotic-assisted needle biopsy of the prostate.

Augmented reality guidance for needle biopsies: An initial randomized, controlled trial in phantoms
We report the results of a randomized, controlled trial to compare the accuracy of standard ultrasound-guided needle biopsy to biopsies performed using a 3D Augmented Reality (AR) guidance system. A board-certified radiologist conducted 50 core biopsies of breast phantoms, with biopsies randomly assigned to one of the methods in blocks of five biopsies each. The raw ultrasound data from each bi...

متن کاملBiopSee® – transperineal stereotactic navigated prostate biopsy
In the recent years, prostate cancer was the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men. Currently secure diagnosis confirmation is done by a transrectal biopsy and following histopathological examination. Conventional transrectal biopsy success rates are rather low with ca. 30% detection upon the first and ca 20% after re-biopsy. The paper presents a novel system for stereotactic navigated prostate...
