Transarterielle Chemoperfusion und -embolisation thorakaler Neoplasmen mittels C-Arm CT

Abstract

C-arm CT provides additional information on the vascular characteristics and perfusion of pulmonary lesions resulting in a change of interventional strategy in a relevant number of patients.

Radiation Exposure of Patients by Cone Beam CT during Endobronchial Navigation - A Phantom Study

“…14 In the future we believe that CBCT guided interventions will be the standard of care for any kind of focal procedures like endoluminal or endovascular navigation, transthoracical or endoluminal thermal ablation, local chemotherapy or other minimal-invasive procedures - in surgical or non-surgical interventional settings. Besides the above mentioned approaches in CBCT guided thoracical surgery some approaches have been made in the last years in different new therapeutic fields 1, 29. Very recently the combination of electromagnetic navigation devices and common CT-technology showed higher efficacy in transthoracical lung ablation procedures compared to standard CT-guidance alone 30.…”

“…Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) imaging has become increasingly important during lung navigated interventions, demonstrating a fact that is correlated with modern endoscopic and image-guided diagnostic and/or therapeutic modalities addressing thoracic malignancies 1-11. First reports on medical navigation during thoracic surgical procedures such as from the SHG Hospital Voelklingen, Germany and University Hospital, Saga, Japan (Customer Magazine AXIOM Innovations November, 2012) paved the way to advanced thoracic operative theaters in that they allow multimodal interventional approaches.…”

Robot arm based flat panel CT-guided electromagnetic tracked spine interventions: phantom and animal model experiments

“…Such systems combine In total the robot has six rotational and one translational degree of freedom the possibility of 2D projectional imaging with the capability of large volume 3D cross-sectional CT-like imaging [6,7]. RMFP systems are designed as on-demand imaging appliances featuring swift parking of the systems to allow for full patient access.…”
