Needle insertion procedures cover a large area of applications, like brachytherapy (BT), biopsy or fluid extraction. The paper presents the kinematics of a novel parallel robot designed for needle placement procedures. This implies that the needle will be inserted in the patient's body from the outside up to a target point following a linear trajectory, the needle tracking being achieved using: visual feedback, ultrasound if possible, otherwise computer tomography (CT). The structural synthesis, the robot kinematics, its workspace and some simulation results are presented in the paper. |
