Title
Fan-Beam Based Virtual Fluoroscopy for Navigated Catheterization in Interventional Radiology.
Abstract
Personalized medicine implies reducing invasiveness of therapeutic procedures. Although interventional radiology proved a very interesting alternative to surgical procedures, it still raises concerns due to the irradiation dose received by the medical team (and by the patient). We propose a novel concept allowing to reduce very significantly the irradiation dose during the phases where tools inserted in the patient have to be tracked with respect to previously acquired images. This implies inserting a miniaturized X-ray detector in the tip of the tools, and reducing the dose by a "rotating collimator". We demonstrate that real-time processing of the signals allows accurate localization of the tip of the tools, with a dose reduction of at least ten times.
