♦ Case review of seven patients: 4 biopsies (hepatic, pulmonary, retroperitoneal and osseous lesions) and 3 ablations (pulmonary, pancreatic and hepatic carcinomas)

♦ The system was easily operated, facilitated pre-procedure planing and displayed an accurate needle trajectory

♦ Benefits for ablations (higher accuracy, better targeting of small lesions) and biopsies (fewer CT controls) without significant post-procedure complications

J. Banat, P. Kennedy, R. Lindsay, R. Sathyanarayana, J. Farrell, S. Francis – BSIR 2020

♦ Retrospective analysis of 52 lung biopsy patients (26 NAV/26 conventional CT)

♦ Diagnostic yield was higher in the NAV group than in the CT group (100% vs 83%)

♦ The patient radiation dose and number of scans were significantly lower in the NAV group

♦ A significantly higher rate of non-axial approaches was used in the NAV group (61,5% vs 11,5%)

G. Mauri, S. Tortora, G. Gorga, D. Maiettini, G. M. Varano, P. Della Vigna, G. Bonomo, E. Valconi, F. Orsi – ECR 2020

♦ Retrospective descriptive study involving 12 patients

♦ Technical success rate was 100% with no fracture during a mean follow-up time of 382 days

♦ All patients were able to walk on the day following osteosynthesis

E.Mavrovi, J.B.Pialat, H.Beji, A.C.Kalenderian, G.Vaz, B.Richioud – Diagnostic and Interventional Imaging

♦ Prospective corpse study (3 forensic examinations)

♦ The magnitude of the organ displacements was highly variable

♦ All organs were successfully biopsied in corpse 3, only the liver could be biopsied in corpses 1 and 2

F.Grenier, S.Voros, V.Scolan, F.Paysant, J.Boutonnat, I.Bricault, A.Moreau-Gaudry – Journal of Forensic Radiology and Imaging

♦ Prospective comparative phantom study involving interventional and diagnostic fellows

♦ The number of successful attempts was significantly higher for interventional fellows (when using the EM system)

♦ All fellows had a significantly higher successful attempt rate with the EM system than with conventional targeting

♦ No significant difference when comparing groups with different levels of experience
