This study evaluated an advanced surgical navigation system, ensuring accurate CT imaging for image-guided surgery. The system demonstrated sufficient accuracy for clinical use after addressing initial calibration challenges.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Surgical Navigation
  • Medical Device Technology

Background:

  • Image-guided surgery relies on precise image registration for accurate navigation.
  • Maintaining consistent imaging coordinates during patient transfer to CT scanners is critical.
  • Advanced systems aim to streamline workflows and improve intraoperative accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the positioning accuracy and translational stability of an advanced workplace for image-guided surgery (AWIGS) prototype.
  • To evaluate the impact of patient transfer and table variables on CT imaging consistency.
  • To determine the overall accuracy of the CT-based registration-free navigation system.

Main Methods:

  • Analyzed 154 volume images of a phantom after various table translations, including changes in weight and phantom position.

  • Assessed the navigation system's calibration accuracy, including bias and precision.
  • Investigated translational image shifting related to the table-to-CT scanner docking mechanism and detected a distance scaling error.

    • Main Results:

    • Initial calibration accuracy showed a bias of 2.1 mm and precision of +/- 0.7 mm.
    • Repeated use maintained a bias of 3.0 mm and precision of +/- 0.9 mm.
    • Identified issues with the docking mechanism and table height adjustment, which were resolved by recalibration.

    Conclusions:

    • The AWIGS prototype demonstrated sufficient accuracy for various surgical and interventional radiology applications.
    • System calibration is crucial for mitigating systematic errors and ensuring reliable navigation.
    • The developed system offers a viable solution for accurate image-guided interventions.
