| Division: | Engineering & Computing Sciences | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | London District | | City: | London, ON | | School: | A.B. LUCAS SECONDARY SCHOOL | | Abstract: | A robot has been developed that locates a target for needle insertion using digital camera image processing. It analyzes forces acting on the needle during the insertion, providing a controlled motion that avoids unwanted tissue ruptures. This technology can be utilized in brachytherapy, biopsies and the treatment of prostate cancer. |
