BRACHYTERAPY: AUTONOMOUS ROBOT FOR PROSTATE BIOPSY & BRACHYTHERAPY
Description
This technology is developed for Permanent or Low Dose Rate (LDR) Brachytherapy and prostate biopsy.
The autonomous robot performing treatment or diagnosis is composed of :
A robot arm:
- Low Space requirement
- Manual control available
An operating unit :
- Needle deviation sensor
- Position sensor
- Autocalibration of the device
- Loose seeds procedure
- Seeds magazine and loader
A supervision software :
- A Treatment Planning System designed for robotized prostate LDR brachyterapy
- 2D or 3D endorectal ultrasound probe and monitor
- Graphical user interface and target real time imaging system
Benefits:
Less Traumatic & invasive procedure
• Expected Low inflammation risk due to reduction of entry points
Safer procedure for patients :
• Accurate placement of needle (5mm) as well as conventional procedures
• Stabilisation of the prostate with two needles
Reliable : Multiple sensors, real-time analysis
Adaptable system to operating condition
Possibility to perform complex procedure with more accuracy, flexibility and control
No need of Perineal Template
• Significant reduction of perineal entry points (6 to 8 instead of up to 50 )
• Multiple insertion angles decreasing risk of prostate deformation
• One needle per procedure
Faster procedure:
• Reduction of physician exposure to radio elements
