Robotic prostatectomy is a common surgical treatment for men with prostate cancer, with
some studies estimating that 80% of prostatectomies now performed in the USA are done so …

Background Prostate cancer is a common disease in men and has a relatively high mortality
rate. However, the interventional medical equipment used for prostate biopsy and …

Cancer represents one of the main causes of the death. Huge efforts have been made by the
scientific community to provide better cancer treatment solutions. An innovative option is the …

Implementation of robotic systems has significantly improved the flexibility and accuracy of
prostate brachytherapy. In our previous study, an ultrasound (US) guided dual-arm robotic …

In lumbar puncture surgery, compared with the conventional methodologies like computed
tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound imaging offers the advantages of …

The paper investigates the kinematic analysis of an innovative 5-DOF parallel medical robot
used for brachytherapy. Robotic assisted brachytherapy involves the targeted treatment of …

Percutaneous needle-based interventions such as transperineal prostate brachytherapy
require the accurate placement of multiple needles to treat cancerous lesions within the …

The paper presents a new robot for manipulating a transrectal ultrasound probe for image-
guided intervention of the prostate, the TRUS robot. The robot positions and orients the …

Prostate cancer is the second deadliest form of cancer, even though it is less invasive and
easily curable in early stages, due to the lack of an efficient and accurate diagnosis strategy …

The paper presents the kinematic analysis of two medical instruments to be used in a robotic
system designed for the minimally invasive treatment of non-resectable liver tumors. The …
