ABSTRACT
Goal We present a new framework for in vivo image guidance evaluation and provide a case study on robotic partial nephrectomy. Methods:
This framework (called the "bystander protocol") involves two surgeons, one who solely performs the therapeutic process without image guidance, and another who solely periodically collects data to evaluate image guidance. This isolates the evaluation from the therapy, so that in-development image guidance systems can be tested without risk of negatively impacting the standard of care. We provide a case study applying this protocol in clinical cases during robotic partial nephrectomy surgery.Results:
The bystander protocol was performed successfully in 6 patient cases. We find average lesion centroid localization error with our IGS system to be 6.5 mm in vivo compared to our prior result of 3.0 mm in phantoms.Conclusions:
The bystander protocol is a safe, effective method for testing in-development image guidance systems in human subjects.
