Abstract

Ultrasound and MRI imaging guiding system for Robotic assisted interventional procedures such as needle biopsy and FUS ablation have to be improved to allow a one stop shop multimodality image guidance. A specific holder which has the capability for connecting the application module of the interventional robotic system “INNOMOTION” (IBSmm, CZ) with SIEMENS wireless ultrasound probe (Acuson Freestyle) was designed and manufactured in order to achieve the desired function. The work is a subproject in FUTURA an EU FP7 funded project for the development of robotic assisted Ultrasound guided focused ultrasound.

Highlights

  • Background/introduction Ultrasound and MRI imaging guiding system for Robotic assisted interventional procedures such as needle biopsy and FUS ablation have to be improved to allow a one stop shop multimodality image guidance

  • A specific holder which has the capability for connecting the application module of the interventional robotic system “INNOMOTION” (IBSmm, CZ) with SIEMENS wireless ultrasound probe (Acuson Freestyle) was designed and manufactured in order to achieve the desired function

  • Results: The holder can be separated into seven parts: hangers, main frame, horizontal slide, connector of horizontal and rotational block, rotational block, axial slide and the probe connector

Summary

Introduction

Background/introduction Ultrasound and MRI imaging guiding system for Robotic assisted interventional procedures such as needle biopsy and FUS ablation have to be improved to allow a one stop shop multimodality image guidance. A specific holder which has the capability for connecting the application module of the interventional robotic system “INNOMOTION” (IBSmm, CZ) with SIEMENS wireless ultrasound probe (Acuson Freestyle) was designed and manufactured in order to achieve the desired function. 2. The position of the probe should be adjustable according to the actual operating environment, which mainly includes the horizontal, vertical and axial translation and angle rotation. 3. As the skin level will supply a pushing force to the probe, certain spring should be operated to provide the reacting force in order to keep the working position of the probe. As the holder should be employed in the MRI working area, ABS plastic is picked for the fabrication material and 3D printing technology has been employed
