Abstract

A transrectal probe manipulator system includes a probe comprising a biopsy needle and a manipulator. The manipulator includes a base including first and second base support shafts on a base body, a main frame, and a mounting plate. A lower end of the main frame is rotatably connected to the base through a first shaft to define a first degree of freedom. The mounting plate includes first and second mounting plate support shafts and a probe receiver, and is rotatably connected to the main frame through a second shaft to define a second degree of freedom. The probe receiver is rotatable about a central axis to define a third degree of freedom, and linearly moveable along the central axis to define a fourth degree of freedom. The probe is secured to the probe receiver. The manipulator is driven by cables which are attached to the shafts in an actuation assembly.
