Electromagnetic Tracking of Devices During Interventional Procedures
Withdrawn before enrolling
Conditions studied: Biopsy or Ablation Procedures
In brief
This prospective, randomized, controlled, parallel-design trial will compare the use of electromagnetic tracking and image guidance during biopsy/ablation procedures verses the typical standard or conventional image guided procedure alone (control). "US" ultrasound-guided biopsies/ablations with or without "CT" computed tomography- imaging will be used to complete the procedures in either the CT suite or a procedure room, at the discretion of the physician, and according to normal local practice patterns.
