Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical robots, and in particular relates to a magnetic resonance compatible deep brain electrode implantation robot. Background Art

[0002] Deep brain electrode implantation surgery involves implanting electrodes into specific deep brain nuclei for chronic electrical stimulation. This surgery is plagued by issues such as discrepancies in preoperative and intraoperative imaging, complex surgical procedures, and insufficient precision in manually adjusting the implanted electrodes. An MRI-compatible deep brain electrode implantation robot can address these issues. The robot operates under real-time guidance from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and offers advantages such as high precision, accurate movement, and precise feedback.

[0003] In an MRI-compatible deep brain electrode implantation robot system, the robot's driving mode and driving structure are key, as these two factors determine whether the pacemaker electrode can be accurately implanted in the intended location. However, due to the limited space of the MRI scanner and the influence of the strong magnetic field during MRI imaging, conventional driving modes and structures cannot meet the requirements. For example, in the existing motor-driven manipulator structure, the ferromagnetic material of the motor will affect the quality of MRI imaging; the precision of the pneumatic-driven sleeve structure is difficult to control; the long flexible cable mechanism driven by an external motor occupies most of the space in the MRI scanner, and the excessively long flexible cable cannot meet the precision requirements of the MRI robot, making it impossible to perform high-precision surgery. In terms of structure, some current MRI-compatible surgical robot structures occupy a large amount of space in the MRI scanner, but there is no significant improvement in the working space.

[0036] The following is a further description of the magnetic resonance compatible deep brain electrode implantation robot of the present invention with reference to the embodiments:

[0037] The robot is placed on the platform of the MRI scanner, near the head of the user, and the user lies on the platform of the MRI scanner with his head on the head support 12 of the rack 1 .

[0038] First, the two peristaltic hydraulic pumps outside the MRI room are connected to the electrode implantation robot inside the MRI scanner through long catheters. The first peristaltic pump is connected to the inlet and outlet of the first hydraulic cylinder 24 and the second hydraulic cylinder 25 through the catheter, and the second peristaltic pump is connected to the inlet and outlet of the first swing cylinder 411 and the second swing cylinder 412 through the catheter and the multi-way connector. The MRI scanner is started, and the position of the robot and the MRI image of the user's head will be displayed on the monitor of the MRI scanner. After determining the location of the user's lesion, the robot's control system controls the rotation speed and direction of the first peristaltic pump. , which changes the liquid volume and hydraulic pressure of the first hydraulic cylinder 24 and the second hydraulic cylinder 25, thereby causing the piston columns of the first hydraulic cylinder 24 and the second hydraulic cylinder 25 to move in opposite directions, and through the cylinder connecting plate 22, the drive frame 23 and the slider connector 65 fixedly connected thereto, the slider 62 moves on the ball screw 61, driving the extension and retraction of the flexible cable 508, and the direction of the flexible cable 508 is changed by the cooperation of the pulleys in the pulley assembly 5. Since the end of the flexible cable 508 is connected to the posture adjustment slider 309, the posture adjustment slider 309 slides on the annular slide rail 401 to achieve circumferential positioning. After circumferential positioning, the second peristaltic pump is turned on to change the liquid volume and hydraulic pressure of the first swing cylinder 411 and the second swing cylinder 412. The piston column of the first swing cylinder 411 is extended and the piston column of the second swing cylinder 412 is retracted, so that the third pulley 407 rotates, and the third pulley 407 rotates coaxially with the second pulley 406. The second pulley 406 and the first pulley 405 are engaged and transmitted through the first transmission belt 408, so that the first pulley 405, the rotating shaft 403, the connecting seat 402 and the annular slide rail 401 rotate synchronously, realizing the axial positioning of the posture adjustment component 3 around the rotating shaft 403.

[0039] After the robot completes the positioning, the robot's needle insertion posture is continuously corrected according to the real-time image of the MRI scanner, so that the posture adjustment component 3 continuously adjusts its posture. At the same time, the piston column of the hydraulic cylinder 305 extends to push the implanted electrode to move, and finally the implanted electrode is accurately placed.
