was shown (p=0.62), if the sensor was placed intrahepatically. TPE increased when placing the sensor externally (p<0.01). Mean time for navigated targeting: 13.6 sec. TPE did not differ when targeting under continuous breathing versus in apnoe (p=0.08).
Conclusion:This technique allows continuous intrahepatic tumour tracking and accurate and efficient targeting of liver lesions in an animal model. It might represent a simple approach for combined ablation and TACE in a single treatment session.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
