This study introduces computer-assisted kidney access using 3D CT and ultrasound imaging for pre-operative planning. The system achieved accurate puncture guidance, with future work aiming to improve precision and account for respiratory motion.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Surgical Technology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Minimally invasive kidney procedures require precise targeting.
  • Integrating pre-operative imaging with intra-operative guidance remains a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a computer-assisted system for kidney access.
  • To enable pre-operative 3D planning using computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound (US) data.
  • To facilitate accurate intra-operative puncture guidance.

Main Methods:

  • Acquired CT and US images from a normal volunteer.
  • Performed rigid registration between CT and US datasets.
  • Evaluated system accuracy using a kidney phantom for puncture experiments.

Main Results:

  • Achieved millimetric registration accuracy with real patient data.
  • Demonstrated a mean target error of 4.7 mm in phantom experiments.
  • Identified needle deflection as a primary source of error during puncture.

Conclusions:

  • Preliminary results indicate the system's potential for accurate computer-assisted kidney access.
  • Further development is needed to enhance system efficiency and accuracy.
  • Future iterations will incorporate respiratory motion compensation.
