Advanced image navigation techniques for percutaneous ablation
Over recent years, there has been a clear industry shift towards implementing advanced navigation systems and robotics in percutaneous ablation procedures, motivated by the importance of margin verification in ensuring optimal local tumour control. As a result, there has been a gradual increase in the utilization of such systems among interventional radiologists to improve the precision and effectiveness of percutaneous ablation techniques. This case-based webinar will demonstrate the application of advanced image navigation systems in percutaneous ablation procedures. Each speaker will delve into one to two cases, emphasizing the advantages of image-guided navigation and sharing valuable insights and techniques. Topics to be discussed will include ablation procedures in various areas such as the liver, kidney, lung, and spine/MSK, non-visible lesions, margins verification, and ablation simulation.
Learning objectives
The case-based discussions will highlight:
- Applications in difficult locations and non-visible lesions
- Applications in margins verification and ablation simulation
- Cost efficacy, shortened duration, and radiation exposure
- Outcomes
