No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Pulmonary vascular anatomy represents a constant challenge during lung resection, because of its variability in terms of vascular branches and anatomical variations.

Preoperative standard computed tomography is not always sufficient to foresee tricky abnormalities; augmented reality, thanks to holograms creation, may offer additional data on pulmonary vascular anatomy and its relation with neoplastic tissue. The aim of this study is to assess the possibility of correctly predict number, location and potential anomalies of pulmonary vascular anatomy of the lobe to be resected in patients undergoing lung resection for cancer.

Patients will receive standard preoperative oncologic and functional assessment. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) - performed according to a specific protocol - will be performed. CT images will be subsequently elaborated to generate 3D images (holograms). Two radiologists and two thoracic surgeons will analyze CT images and report number of artery and vein branches for the lobe to be resected. Moreover they will report every anatomical variation, according to the normal anatomy. After that, the same two radiologists and thoracic surgeons will analyze the holograms and perform the same analysis as quoted above. Patients will undergo to the planned surgical resection. The operating team will report the exact number of artery and vein branches of the resected lobe as well as every anatomical variation. Preoperative CT and holographic findings of the radiologists and the thoracic surgeons will be matched with the report of the operating team.

Hologram

Patient undergoing elective anatomical resection for lung cancer will receive standard preoperative CT scan of the chest (as usual); CT images will be subsequently elaborated by a Holographic computer to generate 3D images (holograms).Two radiologists and two thoracic surgeons will analyze CT images in a standard modality and report number of artery and vein branches for the lobe to be resected, moreover they will report every anatomical variation, according to the normal anatomy. After that, the same two radiologists and thoracic surgeons will analyze 3D images by the use of Microsoft Hololens and perform the same analysis as quoted above. For each review of the exam performed will be written a digitally signed clinical report to certify the timing of the evaluation and to be able to trace the analysis and any subsequent modifications of the interpretation of the CT images results.
