Prostate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers among men and a major area of concern for healthcare system. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) that has superior soft tissue imaging capability, enables higher cancer detection rate. MRI guided intervention devices that require device-to-image registration, essential for accurate and precise targeting, complicates the overall process while increasing total time for intervention. We design and develop a simplified, MRI guided, registration-free transperineal prostate biopsy needle guide and perform experiments. A preliminary simulation is performed to understand whether the interaction between guide hole and biopsy needle during the firing step affects the needle motion characteristics. The proposed device could be incorporated for rapid adoption into the clinical environment.
