Interventional radiology is a minimally invasive image-guided procedure that can be performed percutaneously. When computed tomography (CT) is used as an image-guidance for interventional radiology, the radiation exposure is a major problem to an operator who stands close to a CT gantry. To solve this problem, we are developing a remote control needle puncture robot which has five degrees of freedom. However, evaluation of the positioning performance of the robot was not conducted. In this paper, evaluation criteria of positioning performance required for a needle puncture robot is determined, and the performance of the robot is evaluated.
