    XperGuide ablation

    Excellent needle trajectory planning and guidance with XperGuide Ablation

     

    XperGuide Ablation* provides comprehensive assistance for treatment planning and live needle guidance. It offers unique Parallax Correction to plan needle trajectories for off-center lesions.1 To optimize the needle position for effective ablation, this tool displays the virtual needle path to assist in multiple needle planning. It shows needle characteristics such as ablation zone/isotherm to confirm complete tumor coverage prior to ablation.

    Highly accurate and safe needle interventions with XperGuide and CBCT

    XperGuide and CBCT

    Lesion heterogeneity and lack of conspicuity limit the quality of specimens as well as the feasibility of biopsies when performed under ultrasound or conventional CT. With the increasing adoption of screening programs in lung, early lung cancers manifesting as small nodules have been detected more frequently than ever before. 14.5% of a screened population was observed to have nodules ≤10 mm.1-2 Our needle navigation technology with CBCT increases precision, and enables the targeting of smaller (<=1 cm) or heterogeneous lesions more accurately with less needle repositioning and at lower dose than conventional CT.1-2

    Comprehensive approach supports successful outcomes

    Percutaneous ablation (radiofrequency, microwave, and cryoablation), is a well-established minimally invasive treatment of kidney, liver, lung and bone tumors. It is critical to define the tumor boundaries and decide on an optimal number of needles and corresponding needle trajectory to be able to perform a complete tumor treatment and not to cause damage to surrounding tissue.

     

    Navigating accurately at low dose to the lesion of interest without needle repositioning increases the opportunity for success and reduces risk for complications of your biopsies or ablations. Confirmation of ablation treatment endpoint can be accomplished with 3D imaging while the patient is still on the table.

    Soft Tissue image

    SmartCT Soft Tissue

    SmartCT Soft Tissue offers a Cone Beam CT (CBCT) acquisition technique augmented with step-by-step guidance, advanced 3D visualization and measurement tools; all accessible on the touch screen module at table side.

    Pre-procedural image alignment with CBCT

    CBCT 3D image using Dual View

    Dual View allows the overlay of a pre-procedure 3D image (CT/MR/PET-CT) on an intra-procedure 3D CBCT Dual to better visualization the lesions and access critical input for needle planning.

    Live needle trajectory guidance

    Live trajectory guidance with XperGuide

    XperGuide provides highly accurate live image guidance of each needle to a targeted position by overlaying pre-planned trajectories with fluoroscopic imaging.3

    Post ablation lesion imaging with CBCT

    CBCT

    With CBCT acquire a post-ablation CBCT to demonstrate the extent of tumor coverage and confirm completeness of your treatment.
