Abstract
In clinical routine, the prostate biopsy procedure is performed with the guidance of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) imaging to diagnose prostate cancer. However, the TRUS-guided prostate biopsy brings reliability concerns due to the lack of contrast difference between prostate tissue and lesions. In this study, a novel hydraulic needle delivery system that is designed for performing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided prostate biopsy procedure with transperineal approach is introduced. The feasibility of the overall system was evaluated through in vitro phantom experiments under an MRI guidance. The in vitro experiments performed using a certified prostate phantom (incorporating MRI visible lesions). MRI experiments showed that overall hydraulic biopsy needle delivery system has excellent MRI compatibility (signal to noise ratio (SNR) loss < 3%), provides acceptable targeting accuracy (average 2.05±0.46 mm) and procedure time (average 40 min).
