Abstract
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 brachytherapy has always been a social concern.
Methods
To understand interventional medical equipment for prostate cancer, the structure of manual, semi-automatic, and automatic medical equipment were considered as the mainline, while the corresponding research on these structures were the auxiliary lines. The characteristics and corresponding research status have been discussed.
Results
Interventional medical equipment for prostate cancer with different degrees of automation and its characteristics were determined, and the imaging principles and characteristics of computed tomography, transrectal ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging have been briefly described.
Conclusion
Certain feasible research suggestions have been proposed for future development from the perspective of structure, accuracy, and safety. These include flexible and compact robot structures, high-precision image recognition and guidance, accurate dose planning and monitoring, real-time imaging monitoring without delay, high-precision needle insertion strategy, master-slave control, virtual reality, and remote control.
