Abstract

Lung cancer is the leading cause of death among different type of cancers worldwide. To decrease the recorded mortality rates, earlier diagnosis and timely treatment are essential. The two-degrees-of-freedom robotic and image guided navigation system, ENDORO is designed to find peripheral pulmonary nodules using an electromagnetic tracking equipment, a navigation software and a specially designed biopsy catheter. The aim of the present study was to assess the accuracy of the ENDORO system in a rigid lung phantom built from a set of computerized tomography scans of a patient. We describe the testing environment, necessary configurations and navigation results for main lung airways. The evaluation consists in identifying all navigable paths from the entry point to the lung periphery, counting the number of intersection crossing, the time required for navigation and the number of movements the robot performed. The results demonstrate appropriate navigation accuracy for catheters with a rigid tip. Future studies will test robotic navigation with a catheter with a bending tip.
