Study & Design
- Study Type
- Observational non invasive
- Study Design
- Not specified
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The main study endpoint is the accuracy of the EM navigation system to measure the distance from the EM probe (or tumor resection margin) to tumor tissue. In addition we will evaluate the handling of the navigation system during liver surgery.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Intuitiveness of the navigation system: this will be evaluated by standardized utility questionnaires.<br /><br>The outcome will be a quantitative value of the intuitiveness of this device which we can compare with other device trials.
