Study Summary
Image-guided surgery is a new technology, which is used to create 3-D pictures that generate a map of the liver. This map will allow surgeons to know the exact anatomical location of their instruments, including instances when direct visualization is not possible. This study is designed to determine the safety and feasibility of using image-guided techniques for treatment of liver tumors. The overall goal of this study is to use image-guided surgery for the improvement of the surgeon's ability to remove liver tumors.
Primary Outcome
* 10 successful intraoperative registrations with no more than 30% failure rate over all the cases will be considered a successful endpoint * A successful registration is defined as one which yields an RMS surface residual of ≤ 10 mm and is determined to be success after qualitative evaluation.
Interventions
- DEVICE Explorer Liver Image Guided System
- DEVICE Explorer Liver Passive Tracking
- PROCEDURE Liver surgery
