Fusion imaging is feasible with a mobile C-arm in a conventional operating room and thus represents an alternative to hybrid rooms. Its clinical benefits should be evaluated in a randomized series, but our study already suggests that EVAR procedures might be facilitated with an angionavigation system.
No image fusion system has been proposed yet for endovascular procedures of PAD in lower extremities. More globally, such a navigation system, combining image fusion from different 2D and 3D image sources, is novel in the field of endovascular procedures.
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.
