ROBOT-ASSISTED NAVIGATION SYSTEM FOR CT-GUIDED INTERVENTION PROCEDURES FOR PERCUTANEOUS LESIONS: OUR EXPERIENCE AT BIR, CHENNAI.

Dr Iyengaran H

Abstract


Objective of this study is to evaluate the Robot-assisted Navigation System for CT-guided Intervention procedures with the assessment of the accuracy of needle placement, radiation dose and performance level. All the procedures were done using MAXIO (Perfint healthcare Pvt Ltd.) machine using 16 slice CT scanners, under local anesthesia and aseptic precautions, under the supervision of trained radiologists. After marking the point of entry and target lesion, path of the needle is confirmed on the planning software and the system calculates, coordinates angle & depth and positions the biopsy arm. All procedures were successfully performed. Procedure duration, radiation dose precision of needle Diagnostic performance of the biopsy and rate of complications were evaluated. .This method is more patient friendly and ensures maximum safety. The average procedure time and radiation exposure is reduced by 70% as compared to the routine manual method. This clinical trial depicts the advantages of the automated CT guided planner in reducing the procedure time and radiation dose and ensuring patient safety with high diagnostic accuracy, thus making it acceptable for the routine clinical practice.
