This study introduces a surgical navigation system for intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT), improving the accuracy of brachytherapy implant positioning and radiation dose documentation in pelvic cancer patients.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Radiotherapy

Background:

  • Conventional intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) lacks precise documentation of radiation volume and dose distribution.
  • Current methods for brachytherapy implant positioning in pelvic cancer are suboptimal.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel system for surgical navigation and documentation of implant positioning in intraoperative brachytherapy.
  • To enhance the accuracy of radiation dose delivery and documentation in pelvic radiotherapy.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an electromagnetic 3D digitizer and PC workstation for surgical navigation.
  • Employed preoperative CT scans for navigation and documentation of implant positioning.
  • Implemented an external reference system attached to the iliac bone for registration.

Main Results:

  • Achieved mean digitalization accuracy of 2.6 +/- 0.5-3.7 +/- 0.9 mm for implant positioning.
  • Demonstrated mean navigation accuracy of 2.4 +/- 0.8-3.3 +/- 0.8 mm.
  • Results align with clinical experience, indicating high precision.

Conclusions:

  • CT-guided navigation optimizes implant positioning for improved radiotherapy quality.
  • Enhanced documentation of dose volume and distribution leads to more individualized treatment.
  • Further investigation into surgical navigation for pelvic procedures is recommended.
