Optical navigation robot-assisted puncture system for accurate lung nodule biopsy: an animal study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As lung cancer is one of the most significant factors seriously endangering human health, a robot-assisted puncture system with high accuracy and safety is urgently needed. The purpose of this investigation was to compare the safety and effectiveness of such a robot-assisted system to the conventional computed tomography (CT)-guided manual method for percutaneous lung biopsies (PLBs) in pigs.

Methods

An optical navigation robot-assisted puncture system was developed and compared to the traditional CT-guided PLB using simulated lesions in experimental animals. A total of 30 pulmonary nodules were successfully created in 5 pigs (Wuzhishan pig, 1 male and 4 females). Of these, 15 were punctured by the optical navigation robot-assisted puncture system (robotic group),
