Study Overview
This study compared a new robotic-assisted navigation system with traditional methods for taking biopsies of tumors in the chest and abdomen. It involved 140 patients who needed this procedure.
Results
- Success Rate: The robotic system successfully located the biopsy site 84.1% of the time, compared to just 43.7% for the traditional method.
- Adjustment Times: The robotic group required fewer adjustments to find the right spot (1.51 compared to 3.51 adjustments).
- CT Scans: Patients using the robotic system had fewer CT scans (4.99 scans versus 7.11 scans).
However, both methods had similar times for localization and complication rates.
Conclusion
The robotic navigation system shows better results in locating tumors and requires fewer adjustments and scans, making it a more effective choice than traditional biopsy methods.
Practical Applications
Based on these findings, healthcare providers can:
- Set clear goals to improve biopsy success rates.
- Choose appropriate AI tools for enhancing the biopsy process.
- Start with a pilot project to measure the impact of robotic systems in real healthcare settings.
