Definitions

  • the invention relates to a biopsy device and an associated method for the use thereof.
  • a biopsy needle guide according to the prior art shows EP2347717B1, wherein the biopsy needle guide described therein can be pivoted in a plane.
  • the pivoting is not reproducible by a scale or similar device.
  • Much more disadvantageous, however, is that the entire device can not be moved in a predetermined manner in a translation plane.
  • Another alternative biopsy needle guide is in
  • US20120203095A1 discloses. Here a pivoting of the biopsy direction is possible. However, there is only one translational degree of freedom, namely a displacement along a rotatable axis, against which the biopsy needle can be pivoted further. This prior art lacks the ability to move the biopsy needle to any point of a translation plane without changing direction simultaneously.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object reproduzier displaceable and pivotally form a biopsy needle guide in a translation plane.
  • the invention proposes a device with the features specified in claim 1. It is advantageous to provide in the biopsy device a frame in which a first manipulator is mounted.
  • the frame can serve as a mounting frame of the biopsy device.
  • the needle guide is connected to the first manipulator via other components.
  • the first manipulator thereby indirectly moves the needle guide along a first coordinate.
  • the first coordinate lies in a translation plane which lies in or parallel to the plane defined by the frame.
  • the translation plane may be replaced by planes that are parallel to the original translation plane, and coordinates may be replaced by corresponding parallel-shifted coordinates.
  • first frame-side manipulator part belonging to the first manipulator is connected to the frame
  • first needle-side manipulator part likewise belonging to the first manipulator is connected to a second manipulator.
  • the needle guide is connected to the second manipulator via at least one of the further components mentioned below.
  • the second manipulator moves the needle guide along a second coordinate.
  • the second coordinate is also in the translation level.
  • First and second coordinates are chosen as not parallel. Preferably, they are optionally selected after parallel displacement in a common translation plane at least locally mutually perpendicular. This includes the use of translational as well as rotary manipulators.
  • first and second manipulator are installed parallel to the frame.
  • the translation plane is spanned by the frame as well as by the first and second manipulator.
  • the translation plane of the first and second manipulator is clamped.
  • a cross slide is an advantageous embodiment of the first and second manipulator.
  • the first and second coordinates are perpendicular to each other.
  • First and second manipulator are translationally formed.
  • the first pivot axis corresponding to the first joint extends, possibly after parallel displacement, likewise in the translation plane.
  • the needle guide is indirectly connected to the first pivot axis directly or via at least one of the other components mentioned below.
  • the needle guide When the needle guide is directly connected to the first hinge, the needle guide is preferably attached, possibly after parallel displacement, with a direction perpendicular to the direction of the first pivot axis.
  • Pivot axis and the needle guide to provide a second joint which has a different direction from the first pivot axis direction.
  • the needle guide to two independent axes, namely the two pivot axes are pivoted.
  • This together with the translations of the first and second manipulators, provides maximum flexibility in biopsy. It is favorable to select the direction of the first pivot axis perpendicular to the direction of the second pivot axis.
  • the frame has a circular opening and forms a circular first frame-side manipulator part.
  • the first needle-side manipulator part can be rotated or rotated about a rotation axis of the first manipulator.
  • the axis of rotation is chosen perpendicular to the translation plane.
  • Attached to the first needle-side manipulator part is the second manipulator.
  • Its second frame-side manipulator part has two parallel rails, on which slides a carriage as a second needle-side manipulator part.
  • the position of the second needle-side manipulator part is designed to be displaceable as a function of the angle of rotation of the first manipulator and the position of the second manipulator in the manner of a polar coordinate system.
  • the movement of the second needle-side manipulator part always runs perpendicular to the second coordinate upon rotation of the first manipulator, ie along the first coordinate.
  • the first and second coordinates are rotated in this case.
  • the axis of the biopsy needle on the mantle of a double cone Because then moves on rotation of the first manipulator, the axis of the biopsy needle on the mantle of a double cone. If the tip of the double cone at the site to be biopsied is selected by suitable adjustment of the second manipulator and the first joint, the path on which the biopsy needle arrives at the site to be biopsied can advantageously be achieved by mere rotation of the first manipulator Double cones can be chosen freely. Of course, the rotational symmetry axis and thus also the tip of the double cone lie on the axis of rotation of the first manipulator. In order to be able to freely choose the location to be biopsied despite this restriction, if necessary, the entire frame can be made displaceable by two further manipulators mounted outside.
