A new navigation system for interventional radiology uses vacuum immobilization and a novel reference frame for precise, automatic patient-to-image registration. This system enhances needle adjustment speed and accuracy, achieving sub-millimeter precision in phantom studies.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Surgical Navigation
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Minimally invasive percutaneous interventions require precise instrument navigation.
  • Patient movement during procedures can compromise accuracy and safety.
  • Existing navigation systems may rely on external tracking, adding complexity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel, automated navigation system for interventional radiology.
  • To improve patient immobilization and patient-to-image registration accuracy.
  • To create a system adaptable to clinical workflows and radiologist needs.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a patient vacuum immobilization device to minimize movement.
  • Developed a new reference frame for automatic, tracking-system-independent registration.

  • Integrated software with a novel needle holder for rapid needle adjustment.
  • Evaluated system accuracy using a phantom study.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved fully automatic patient-to-image registration.
    • Demonstrated rapid needle adjustment capabilities (within seconds).
    • Attained an average needle positioning accuracy of less than 0.7 mm in phantom tests.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel navigation system offers high accuracy and efficiency for interventional radiology.
    • The system's automated registration and rapid adjustment enhance clinical applicability.
    • The developed technology has the potential to improve outcomes in minimally invasive procedures.
