Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Surgical Navigation

Background:

  • CT-guided interventions are crucial for diagnosing and treating various conditions.
  • Complex cases, including small lesions or challenging access, require advanced navigation tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the geometrical accuracy and clinical applicability of a novel free-hand, CT-guided, optical navigation system.
  • To assess the system's performance in complex interventional procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 15 procedures in 14 patients using the navigation system.
  • Application in cases with long needle paths, narrow access, or out-of-plane trajectories.
  • Detailed analysis of needle trajectory, lesion characteristics, and procedural parameters.

Main Results:

  • High diagnostic yield (91% for biopsies) and technical success for therapeutic interventions.
  • Excellent targeting precision with a mean needle tip deviation of 1.98 mm from the target.
  • Significant correlations found between angular needle deviation and intervention time, target respiratory movement, and BMI.

Conclusions:

  • The CT-guided optical navigation system offers safe and effective targeting for complex interventional procedures.
  • The system is clinically applicable, achieving precise results within a reasonable timeframe.
  • Further research may explore optimizing parameters to minimize intervention time and improve outcomes.
