Design and implementation of an electromagnetic ultrasound-based navigation technique for laparoscopic ablation of liver tumors

摘要

Efficient laparoscopic ablation of liver tumors relies on precise tumor visualization and accurate positioning of ablation probes. This study evaluates positional accuracy and procedural efficiency of a dynamic navigation technique based on electromagnetic-tracked laparoscopic ultrasound (ELUS) for laparoscopic ablation of liver tumors.
