Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Needle insertion or puncturing is one of most common procedures for both diagnosis and treatment of various diseases in daily medical practice. This procedure is however, no always easy to perform in many cases and sometimes with high risk of complications such as bleeding, rupture and even death, especially when the target lesion is located deeply inside the body. In such cases, it is assisted by the image guidance though the whole processes including the planning, real-time assistance and post-procedure monitoring. Unfortunately, even with the help of images, it is still suffering from many limitations, such as high-operator dependency, risk of misplacement of needle, exposure of radiation during the procedures etc. In this regards, the introduction of robotic and advance engineering technologies may help improve the performance of this common and important procedures.
The Center for Image Guided Interventional Robotics has been recently initiated based on a government funded 5-yr project, Development of Needle Insertion Type Image-based Interventional Robotic System. Various participants including medical professionals in vascular and interventional radiology, engineers with a variety of specialties in robotics, medical imaging and medical device technologies, and company members for commercialization, were grouped for the project. Basically the project is to develop an image-guided, tele-operation type robot system for CT or Conebeam CT guided needle insertion procedures. One unique approach we take for enhanced functionality and clinical benefit in the system is to implement enhanced automation in the needle insertion and post-insertion procedures such as multifaceted or multiple sampling function, and advanced embedded physical and chemical sensor mechanisms using nanotechnology in the procedure instruments for in situ tissue characteristic assessment. The successful development of the system needs harmonious integration and fusion of many different knowledge and technologies including procedure analysis, robot mechanism design, simulation, haptic interface, material engineering, image processing, sensor technology, control software and hardware, medical knowledge, animal experiments and clinical trials. In this talk, our project and imaging-guided needle insertion type medical robot in general will be briefly explained and a sneak peek of our early results will be provided.
