[PMID: 36497325 PMCID: PMC9736203 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14235841] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2022] [Revised: 11/19/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
This paper presents a study regarding the design and the experimental setup of a medical robotic system for brachytherapy using tribology analysis. The robotic system is composed of a collaborative robotic arm and a multi-needle brachytherapy instrument controlled using a unified control system embedding a haptic device and force-feedback. This work is oriented towards identifying the technical characteristics of the system components to determine the accuracy of the procedure, as well as using different scenarios for needle insertion in ex vivo porcine liver tissue in order to determine the forces required for insertion and extraction of the needle and the friction coefficient that accompanies the previously mentioned forces. Subsequent to the computation of the friction forces, the normal forces and the wear during the needle insertion are determined with the scope of predicting the lifecycle of some components of the medical device.

Clinical Outcome of CT-Guided Stereotactic Ablative Brachytherapy for Unresectable Early Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Retrospective, Multicenter Study. Front Oncol 2021; 11:706242. [PMID: 34604042 PMCID: PMC8480264 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.706242] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2021] [Accepted: 08/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective To analyze the efficacy and safety of low dose rate stereotactic ablative brachytherapy (L-SABT) for treatment of unresectable early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Data of patients with early-stage NSCLC who received CT-guided L-SABT (radioactive I-125 seeds implantation) at eight different centers from December 2010 to August 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Treatment efficacy and complications were evaluated. Results A total of 99 patients were included in this study. Median follow-up duration was 46.3 months (6.1-119.3 months). The 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year local control rates were 89.1%, 77.5%, and 75.7%, respectively. The 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year overall survival rates were 96.7%, 70.1%, and 54.4%, respectively. Treatment failure occurred in 38.4% of patients. Local/regional recurrence, distant metastasis, and recurrence combined with metastasis accounted for 15.1%, 12.1%, and 11.1%, respectively. Pneumothorax occurred in 47 patients (47.5%) with 19 cases (19.2%) needing closed drainage. The only radiation-related adverse reaction was two cases of grade 2 radiation pneumonia. KPS 80-100, T1, the lesion was located in the left lobe, GTV D90 ≥150 Gy and the distance between the lesion and chest wall was < 1 cm, were associated with better local control (all P < 0.05); on multivariate analysis KPS, GTV D90, and the distance between the lesion and chest wall were independent prognostic factors for local control (all P < 0.05). KPS 80-100, T1, GTV D90 ≥150 Gy, and the distance between the lesion and chest wall was < 1 cm were also associated with better survival (all P < 0.05); on multivariate analysis KPS, T stage, and GTV D90 were independent prognostic factors for survival (all P < 0.05). The incidence of pneumothorax in patients with lesions <1 cm and ≥1cm from the chest wall was 33.3% and 56.7%, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (P = 0.026). Conclusion L-SABT showed acceptable efficacy in the treatment of unresectable early-stage NSCLC. But the incidence of pneumothorax is high. For patients with T1 stage and lesions <1 cm from the chest wall, it may have better efficacy. Prescription dose greater than 150 Gy may bring better results.

A CT-guided robotic needle puncture method for lung tumours with respiratory motion. Phys Med 2020; 73:48-56. [PMID: 32315807 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmp.2020.04.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2019] [Revised: 03/14/2020] [Accepted: 04/02/2020] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Percutaneous interventions rely on needle puncture to deliver medical devices into lesions. For lung tumours, respiratory motion makes effective puncture procedures difficult to achieve. To address this issue, a needle puncture method considering respiration is proposed to improve the accuracy of lung puncture. METHODS The accuracy of puncture is ensured by visualization and needle guidance. Dynamic visualization of the respiratory motion is developed for needle path planning based on four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) images. The rendered image is synchronized with the actual breathing by using respiratory signals. A robotic needle insertion strategy for velocity adjustment based on these respiratory signals is designed to guide the needle towards the moving tumour. RESULTS The dynamic visualization was tested on multiple 4DCT datasets and achieved a frame rate of over 32 frames per second (FPS). A computer simulation was carried out to verify the feasibility of the needle insertion strategy. Needle puncture was performed on a phantom, and a mean accuracy of 1.34±0.18 mm was achieved. CONCLUSIONS In this paper, an efficient and robust method is proposed to improve the visualization and targeting of lung puncture, which reduces the impact of respiratory motion on the accuracy.
