Robot-Assisted Navigation System For Percutaneous CT Guidedbiopsies With A Comparison of Conventional Manual Technique
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 12
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the performance of a robotic system for CT-guided biopsy in comparison to the conventional manual technique. Materials and methods: Patientsreferred for CT-guided biopsy were randomly assigned to two groups namely, Robot-Assisted Procedure (Group A) and Conventional Procedure (Group B). Procedure duration, dose length product (DLP), accuracyof the needle positioning, diagnostic performance of the biopsy and rate of complications were evaluated to assess the clinical performance of the robotic system as compared to the conventional technique. Results:All biopsies were successfully performed. Procedure duration and radiation dose were significantly reduced in group A as compared to group B. Accuracy of theneedle positioning, diagnostic performance of the biopsy and rate of complications were similar in both groups. Conclusion: Robot-assisted CT-guided biopsy can be performed safely, with high diagnostic accuracy thereby reducing procedure duration and radiation dose in comparison to the conventional manual technique. Key Points: CT-guided biopsy is the main procedure in tumor diagnosis for various body organs. 1 The robotic device facilitates percutaneous needle placement under CT guidance. 2 Robot-assisted CT-guided biopsy reduces procedure duration and radiation dose.
