Abstract:needles were placed in complex IR cases using this new needle guidance technology: 9 liver or kidney ablations, 2 sacroplasties and 1 pleural based lesion biopsy. Needle 3D position was verified 37 times, with Stereo3D used 22 times and full CBCT used 15 times, and re-adjusted 16 times. 10 needle positions were verified with both Stereo3D and CBCT. Stereo3D reconstruction inaccuracy was 2.8mm (±6.3) in depth and 4.4mm (±3.4) off the center of the needle tract. For bone lesions the error was 2mm. Using Stereo3D… Show more
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.
