Optical Breath-hold Control System for Image-guided Procedures

NCT01062789 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: EARLY_PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2011-05-17

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The objective or our study is to test the feasibility of a new optical-based breath-hold control (OBC) system for monitoring breath-hold levels and providing patient feedback during CT-guided biopsies of the lung and upper abdomen where respiratory motion is a problem.

Interventions

DEVICE

Optical breath-hold control system (OBC)

The OBC system was designed to replace the IBC rubber bellows respiration sensor system that we are currently using for CT-guided lung biopsies. Unlike the IBC, the OBC is 1) unaffected by temperature changes, 2) has a linear sensitivity (for easier use and better accuracy), 3) has no pneumatic purge time when setting reference breath-hold level (reducing the chance of an inappropriate reference), 4) has no pneumatic cable that can occasionally interfere and get pinched during procedures, 5) is ambulatory (so patients can more easily familiarize themselves with the device before the procedure), 6) is capable of indicating proper fitting tension, 7) allows for easier binding (wireless pairing with other system components), and 8) is significantly less expensive (and possibly disposable).
