1 Integrated Planning, Navigation and Targeting for Tumor Ablation

2 Ablation Assessment: Can we get beyond Contrast Enhancement? Contrast-enhanced radiologic imaging is the basis of current response evaluation criteria for HCC Novel imaging approaches do not seem to be able to overcome the main limitation of dynamic imaging, i.e., the inability to detect tiny foci of residual viable tumor Volumetric techniques provide objective documentation of the ablation margin and thus appear as the best method to confirm AO treatment Volumetric planning of the ablation strategy, including selection of device, approach and treatment protocol should become standard of care for clinical practice by Dr Riccardo Lencioni, MD, University of Pisa - Italy, at RSNA 2012 This compilation of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures were performed on Perfint s targeting systems. Information contained here is for private circulation only. The information is intended for the purpose it serves and not beyond. In case of any issue, error or complaint please write to: clinicalmarketing@perfinttech.com Perfint Healthcare ( is a world leader in planning and targeting solutions for image guided interventional procedures - with an emphasis on oncology and pain care. Perfint s products, PIGA CT and ROBIO, are used by radiologists around the world for biopsy, drug delivery, ablation, drainage and fine needle aspiration. PIGA CT and ROBIO are installed at some of the world s top hospitals and are CE marked. Perfint s newest product MAXIO, is set to change the world of Interventional Oncology.

New Directions New hope

3 Integrated Planning, Navigation and Targeting for Tumor Ablation Clinical Cases as performed with MAXIO Classified by type of procedure Clinicians benefit from MAXIO s intelligent planning suite and targeting... Registering pre-operative images and offline procedure plan with current CT images Organ specific tumor visualisation and segmentation Multiple VOI, Multi-probe placement plan for multiple procedures Accurate placement without fluoroscopic radiation PROCEDURE PAGES ABLATION 6-42 PAIN MANAGEMENT IRE 54 BIOPSY 56 Ability to treat hard to access and larger tumors Post procedure verification Tumor Ablation is heading in a whole new direction... And MAXIO is leading the way. MAXIO IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTION IN THE US, IT IS PENDING 510 K CLEARANCE. 4 5

4 Case 01 Radio Frequency Ablation of Multiple Liver Lesions Patient planned for RFA of mulitple lesions in the liver Lesions are situated close to diaphragm and bowel. Critical organs like lung, vasculature and bowel surround the targets. With free hand technique it is difficult to place the probe in target(s) without traumatizing critical organs. MAXIO assisted in the precise planning & targeting of the deep-seated lesions through safe trajectory with a combination of both Cranio-caudal and orbital angles. Parameters: Tumor 1 Tumor 2 Lesion Size : 15 mm 9 mm Location : Segment 7 Close to diaphragm Segment 4 close to bowel Angulation : Orbital : Cranio caudal: Orbital : Craniocaudal: 5.39 Entry slice : Target slice : Target depth : mm mm Tumor 1 Tumor 2 6 7

5 02 Case Radio Frequency Ablation of recurrent HCC after TACE A patient was planned for radiofrequency ablation of 3.8 x 3.7 cm lesion at segment 8 of liver Post TACE lesion was not visible on ultrasound. The residual lesion was situated below diaphragm. Patient was planned under GA, coolitip: 17G 150/30 Two probes were used. Orbital angle : 64/63 CC angle : 18/13 Depth : 90.9 / 91 mm Procedure time : 28 min Planning in 3D and 2D Ablated area 8 Doctor placing probe with MAXIO Post RFA shows ablated area covering tumour 9

6 Case 03 Radio Frequency Ablation of a HCC and a Lung Lesion Patient planned for RFA of 25 mm mass at 6th segment of the liver and 9 mm mass in right lung during the same procedure Planning safe trajectories with minimal patient discomfort and less procedure related complications is a challenge. Ablation procedure planned in two sittings. Lesions targeted precisely with the assistance of MAXIO in sequential mode. No post procedure complications. Liver plan: Orbital angle : CC angle : 0 Depth : 93 mm Lung Plan : Orbital angle : CC angle : 0 Depth : mm Needle used : 17G Cooltip : Planning time : 10 min Procedure time : 40 m Planning in 3D and 2D Ablated area 10 Check scan shows probe Post RFA shows ablated area covering tumour 11

7 04 Case Radio Frequency Ablation of Adrenal Tumor Patient diagnosed with HCC underwent liver transplant now with solitary adrenal metastatic lesion In free hand, it is difficult to place the probe with steep angulations to reach the target without traumatising the diaphragm and renal vessels. MAXIO helps in precise planning and targeting of the adrenal lesion with such complex oblique approach, so as to avoid passing through pleural recess. Size : 15 mm Orbital : Cranio caudal : Target depth : mm Planning in 3D and 2D 12 Check scan needle in situ 13

32 TUMOR ABLATION Current practice Today, clinicians plan their interventional oncology procedures by viewing 2 dimensional CT slices, and combining what they see with their understanding of human anatomy, to determine the optimal approach to target the tumor. They must determine the probe trajectory path and the amount of energy needed to destroy the MAXIO A new approach Clinicians can now visualize and plan an entire ablation procedure in 3D - pre-operative registration, segmentation and visualization of multiple VOI, multi probe placement planning, estimated ablation volume* visualization, probe placement sequence, all before advancing a single probe into the patient. Tumor Ablation is heading in a whole new direction... And MAXIO is leading the way. Clinicians benefit from MAXIO s intelligent planning suite and targeting... Registering pre-operative images and off-line plan with current CT images tumor, while sparing healthy tissue. Multiple energy probes must be manually advanced into the tumor one at a time, without coming in contact with one another, and without damaging vital organs. Once the plan is confi rmed, MAXIO s targeting system combined with adaptive intra-operative registration provides spatial positioning and orientation for a probe guide, through which the clinician then carefully advances each probe and performs the ablative procedure. Organ specific ctumor visualization and segmentation Multiple VOI, multi-probe placement plan for multiple procedures Accurate placement without fluoroscopic radiation Once ablation has been completed, MAXIO s visualization tool allows the clinician to verify if the procedure was executed as planned and determine whether additional treatments may be required. MAXIO s reporting tool then Ability to treat hard to access and large tumors Post procedure verifi cation generates the required reports. All this while factoring in the potential for organ movement Tumor ablation made easier and more predictable. during patient respiration. It s not surprising the procedure is performed by only the most skilled and practiced clinicians. * as provided by the device manufacturer or as determined by the clinician

MAXIO strives to reduce the potential for unintended organ damage due to repeat punctures and is likely to reduce the need for repeat scans which would mean less radiation exposure for the patient
