机器人辅助超声扫描系统可实时补偿前列腺移动,提升活检精度与效率。

Motion Compensation for Real Time Ultrasound Scanning in Robotically Assisted Prostate Biopsy Procedures

  • 用协作机械臂自动扫描前列腺模型并保持探头相对位置稳定。
  • 30秒完成扫描,3秒生成3D重建,运动补偿延迟仅0.5秒。
  • 适用于降低操作门槛,适合机器人辅助前列腺活检场景。

前列腺癌是男性中最常见的癌症之一。其活检诊断依赖于医生的高超技术和精准操作,结果高度依赖操作者。本文旨在开发一种用于前列腺术前超声检查的机器人辅助系统,以降低操作难度,实现更快、更准确、更普及的活检。我们搭建了实验室平台,采用协作机械臂自主扫描前列腺模型,并将其连接至模拟患者运动的医用机械臂。扫描机器人通过保持超声探头与前列腺的相对位置不变,确保前列腺重建的一致性和鲁棒性。通过分割每层图像生成前列腺轮廓,转换为3D点云用于活检规划。平均扫描时间为30秒,平均3D重建耗时3秒。在四种运动场景下测试:静止(S)、水平运动(H)、垂直运动(V)及组合运动(C)。通过ICP配准将运动状态下的点云与静止状态对比,阈值0.8毫米下,S-H配准平均匹配度83.2%,均方根误差0.35毫米;S-V为84.1%和0.37毫米;S-C为79.4%和0.37毫米。由于前列腺模型为弹性软质材料,最大追踪误差为3毫米,符合医学文献中对活检的容许误差要求。运动补偿最大延迟为0.5秒。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in men. Its diagnosis by biopsy requires a high level of expertise and precision from the surgeon, so the results are highly operator-dependent. The aim of this work is to develop a robotic system for assisted ultrasound (US) examination of the prostate, a prebiopsy step that could reduce the dexterity requirements and enable faster, more accurate and more available prostate biopsy. We developed and validated a laboratory setup with a collaborative robotic arm that can autonomously scan a prostate phantom and attached the phantom to a medical robotic arm that mimics the patient's movements. The scanning robot keeps the relative position of the US probe and the prostate constant, ensuring a consistent and robust approach to reconstructing the prostate. To reconstruct the prostate, each slice is segmented to generate a series of prostate contours converted into a 3D point cloud used for biopsy planning. The average scan time of the prostate was 30 s, and the average 3D reconstruction of the prostate took 3 s. We performed four motion scenarios: the phantom was scanned in a stationary state (S), with horizontal motion (H), with vertical motion (V), and with a combination of the two (C). System validation is performed by registering the prostate point cloud reconstructions acquired during different motions (H, V, C) with those obtained in the stationary state. ICP registration with a threshold of 0.8 mm yields mean 83.2\% fitness and 0.35 mm RMSE for S-H registration, 84.1\% fitness and 0.37 mm RMSE for S-V registration and 79.4\% fitness and 0.37 mm RMSE for S-C registration. Due to the elastic and soft material properties of the prostate phantom, the maximum robot tracking error was 3 mm, which can be sufficient for prostate biopsy according to medical literature. The maximum delay in motion compensation was 0.5 s.
