Tracked Ultrasound for Patient Registration in Surgical Navigation During Abdominal Cancer Surgery

NCT05637359 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 26

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this observational pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of tracked ultrasound registration on patients undergoing abdominal cancer navigation surgery. The main research question is: Could tracked ultrasound be applied as an alternative to standard CBCT scanning in surgical navigation? Participants will undergo tracked ultrasound measurements of the pelvic bone on the operating room after patient anesthesia and before surgical incision.

Conditions

  • Abdominal Cancer

Interventions

DEVICE

Tracked ultrasound measurement

Participation in the study will not involve additional visits to the hospital or additional CT scans for the included patients. For this experiment, 2D ultrasound images are obtained using an ultrasound transducer linked to the electromagnetic navigation system, which is already in place for the navigation at the operating room. After anesthesia and in parallel to the final preparations of the patient, two percutaneous ultrasound measurements of the pelvic bone are performed and recorded. The first measurements are performed in Trendelenburg patient position and the second measurements in supine patient position. When preparations are finished, normal workflow is continued, including the standard Cone Beam CT acquisition required for the navigation and sterile draping of the patient. The acquired ultrasound scans will be analyzed post-operatively and offline. This measurement has no impact on the (navigated) surgical procedure itself.
