Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Surgical Planning

Background:

  • CT-guided percutaneous biopsies are crucial for diagnosing liver lesions.
  • Accurate needle trajectory planning is essential for biopsy success and patient safety.
  • Current planning methods can be time-consuming and rely on expert interpretation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility and accuracy of an automated software system for generating needle path proposals in CT-guided liver biopsies.
  • To compare software-generated path proposals with those determined by expert radiologists.

Main Methods:

  • Thirty-three patients with focal liver lesions underwent CT-guided biopsy.
  • Dedicated software performed semi-automatic segmentation of relevant anatomy.
  • The software generated three needle path proposals, which were compared to expert consensus.
  • Segmentation quality and processing time were evaluated.

Main Results:

  • The software successfully generated comparable path proposals in 91% of cases.
  • 76% of the first-choice automatic proposals were rated as comparable to expert trajectories.
  • Segmentation quality was rated as good or better in 79% of cases.
  • The average time to generate an automatic path proposal was 42 seconds.

Conclusions:

  • Automated software provides feasible and accurate path proposals for CT-guided liver biopsies.
  • Software-based planning offers comparable trajectories to expert radiologists, potentially improving efficiency.
  • This technology can assist in establishing needle insertion trajectories for liver biopsies.
