Feasibility and safety study of advanced prostate biopsy robot system based on MR-TRUS Image flexible fusion technology in animal experiments

Abstract

The advanced prostate biopsy robot system has broad application prospects in clinical practice, but due to the deformation and distortion between MR-TRUS (magnetic resonance transrectal ultrasound) images, it poses challenges in biopsy accuracy and safety. The study utilized an advanced prostate biopsy robot system based on MR-TRUS image flexible registration technology and conducted experiments on animal models. Retrospective analysis of the puncture accuracy of 12 animal experiments undergoing prostate puncture using MR-TRUS flexible registration technology from May 2022 to October 2023, and observation of intraoperative and 7-day postoperative complications. The study obtained MR-TRUS images and utilized image processing algorithms for registration to reduce image deformation and distortion. Then, precise positioning and operation are carried out through the robot system to execute the prostate biopsy program. The experimental results indicate that the advanced prostate biopsy robot system based on MR-TRUS image flexible registration technology has demonstrated good feasibility and safety in animal experiments. Image registration technology has successfully reduced image distortion and deformation, improving biopsy accuracy. The precise positioning and operation of robot systems play a crucial role in the biopsy process, reducing the occurrence of complications.
