Computer Integrated System for Minimally Invasive Lung Brachytherapy 296 - 301


Abstract

This paper describes a novel approach for lung cancer treatment. It accesses the lung through small incisions in a minimally invasive manner to insert radioactive seeds into the tumour using a computer integrated system. A test-bed incorporating robotic assistance, electromagnetic tracking and ultrasound imaging has been developed. Upgrades to the navigational software, show a considerable improvement in performance when compared to an earlier system.
