Transthoracic Needle Biopsy Using 3D Printed Navigational Template: A Phase I Feasibility Trial

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Lung Neoplasms
Interventions
Device: navigational template
Registration Number
NCT03325907
Lead Sponsor
Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, Shanghai, China
Brief Summary

This study evaluates the feasibility of three-dimensional printed template in transthoracic pulmonary nodule biospy. Investigator planned to include 20 patients with lung nodule biopsy schedule to receive template-guided transthoracic needle aspiration.

Detailed Description

In previous study,a navigational template has been created to simplify the procedure of preoperative lung nodule localization. It was reported that localizer deviation was 10(0-20)mm.In this trial,Investigator explores the utility of this navigational template in transthoracic lung nodule biopsy.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Success rate of needle insertion15 minutes

Clinician evaluate the relative position between biopsy needle and the target lesion on CT images after needle insertion.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
procedural length1 hour

The length of procedural time is measured from the time a patient is lying on the examining bed of the CT scanner to the time he/she complete the biopsy procedure and step off the CT table.

radiation dosage1 hour

How much radiation exposure patients would receive in the whole process of transthoracic needle biopsy.
