Instrument Localization for Endovascular Aneurysm Repair – Comparison of two methods based on Tracking Systems or using Imaging

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader

Abstract

Background

In endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) procedures, medical instruments are currently navigated with a two-dimensional imaging based guidance requiring X-rays and contrast agent.

Methods

Novel approaches for obtaining the three-dimensional instrument positions are introduced. First, a method based on fiber optical shape sensing, one electromagnetic sensor and a preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan is described. Second, an approach based on image processing using one 2D fluoroscopic image and a preoperative CT scan is introduced.

Results

For the tracking based method, average errors from 1.81 to 3.13 mm and maximum errors from 3.21 to 5.46 mm were measured. For the image-based approach, average errors from 3.07 to 6.02 mm and maximum errors from 8.05 to 15.75 mm were measured.

Conclusion

The tracking based method is promising for usage in EVAR procedures. For the image-based approach are applications in smaller vessels more suitable, since its errors increase with the vessel diameter.
