Abstract:
Objective To develop a computer-assisted multiangular guiding system for interventional ultrasound.Methods A computer-assisted multiangular guiding system was developed which included a high-accuracy electromagnetic tracker and a passive arm with 5 degree-of-freedom.The electromagnetic tracker was used to track ultrasound probe and needle.The position of B-mode ultrasound image plane and needle were displayed in real-time in the reconstructed 3D ultrasound.The passive arm was used to assist needle delivering.A 10mm ball immersed in a transparent water tank and a formal acoustical prototype was punctured with random angle by using this system.The systematic precision was assessed.Results The whole progress was finished successfully,the ball was touched by the tip of the needle for all the occasions,the error of the system was less than 5mm.Conclusion The computer-assisted multiangular guiding system can get rid of the limitation of angle and make the operation flexible and accurate.
