Abstract

The chapter presents the kinematics of a new parallel robot for brachytherapy. Brachytherapy (BT) is an innovative technique called also internal radiation, which enables the physician to deliver higher doses of radiation to very-specific areas of the body. Nowadays, BT usage is limited by the insufficient accuracy of the radioactive seeds placement devices. Thus, the authors propose an innovative modular parallel structure which overcomes these limitations, enabling the high accurate positioning of the BT needles in any parts of the patient’s body. The kinematics of the new 5-DOF parallel robot is presented. The dextrous workspace of the robot is computed. Some specific advantages of this structure and the conclusions are presented in the end.
