ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Nuclear medicine has a crucial role in interventional strategies where a combination between the increasing use of targeted radiotracers and intraprocedural detection modalities enable novel, but often complex, targeted procedures in both the fields of interventional radiology and surgery. 3D navigation approaches could assist the interventional radiologist or surgeon in such complex procedures. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION This review aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the current application of computer-assisted navigation strategies based on nuclear imaging to assist in interventional radiology and image-guided surgery. This work starts with a brief overview of the typical navigation workflow from a technical perspective, which is followed by the different clinical applications organized based on their anatomical organ of interest. EVIDENCESYNTHESIS:
Although many studies have proven the feasibility of PET- and SPECT-based navigation strategies for various clinical applications in both interventional radiology and surgery, the strategies are spread widely in both navigation workflows and clinical indications, evaluated in small patient groups. Hence, no golden standard has yet been established.CONCLUSIONS:
Despite that the clinical outcome is yet to be determined in large patient cohorts, navigation seems to be a promising technology to translate nuclear medicine findings, provided by PET- and SPECT-based molecular imaging, to the intervention and operating room. Interventional Nuclear Medicine (iNM) has an exciting future to come using both PET- and SPECT-based navigation.
