The automatic fusion of the ultrasound with a cone-beam CT volume will guide the positioning of the electrodes, despite the visibility of the tumor in ultrasound, in patients treated with irreversible electroporation in the interventional radiology room at Avicenna Hospital for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The objective is to evaluate the primary success rate of the automatic cone-beam CT fusion procedure and ultrasound, regardless of the tumor's visibility status in ultrasound.
Percutaneous removal of hepatic tumours allows curative treatment using a range of techniques such as radiofrequency ablation, microwave, cryoablation or, more recently, irreversible electroporation. These treatments require the introduction of one or more electrodes into or around the areas to be treated. This insertion phase requires that the practitioner has a means of continuously visualizing the area to be treated and the position of the electrodes.
The reference modality for the treatment of hepatic tumours by ablation is ultrasound. The scanner is the conventional alternative recommended in case of invisibility of the target in ultrasound.
When the target is not clearly visible in ultrasound, advanced multimodal image fusion applications can allow the practitioner to overcome this difficulty. This fusion is made possible by tracking the movement of the ultrasound probe in relation to the patient using an electromagnetic navigation system, and by alignment between the ultrasound system and the fused volume.
This alignment can be done manually or automatically using a specific marker placed on the patient's skin, called an "Active Tracker".
The "INTERACT Active Tracker" functionality will also simplify the registration process by providing automatic pre-registration.
The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate the primary success of patients treated at Avicenna Hospital for HCC by irreversible electroporation using this fusion technique. The hypothesis of the study is that this image fusion makes it possible to improve the location of the lesions to be treated and to allow treatment by percutaneous ablation of lesions that are not very visible under ultrasound alone.
This study will also assess the time and accuracy savings when an automatic fusion solution between ultrasound and cone-beam (CB) CT is used, compared to manual alignment.

| Evaluation of the primary success rate of percutaneous ablation treatment with IRE of hepatic tumors, as a function of the ultrasound visibility of the tumor, when using automatic CT cone-beam fusion and ultrasound | Primary success is assessed on the control MRI or CT performed one month after the first IRE (Irreversible Electroporation) ablation procedure targeting a given tumor. It is defined by the absence of visible recurrence at 1 month on post-operative imaging. In the case of a partial response, a % of active tumor will be evaluated. | At 1 month on post-operative imaging |

| The day of the operation |
| Evaluate the time saved by using "INTERACT Active Tracker" allowing automatic alignment of the CBCT volume with ultrasound compared to the manual alignment procedure performed on a series of patients treated when the new function was not available. | Time is measured from the moment the entire volume is loaded onto the ultrasound scanner. The stopwatch is stopped when the operator declares himself satisfied with the adjustment | The day of the operation |
| Evaluate the confidence gain associated with the use of ultrasound fusion. | The confidence gain associated with the use of ultrasound fusion is assessed by noting the number of non-visible or non-localizable tumors in ultrasound alone that can be identified through fusion. | The day of the operation |
| Evaluate the accuracy of the automatic alignment judged on the ultrasound measurement of the distance from the center of the target seen in ultrasound to that segmented on the pre-therapeutic pour Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). | The accuracy of the automatic alignment judged on the ultrasound measurement of the distance from the center of the target seen in ultrasound to that segmented on the pre-therapeutic CBCT is evaluated by comparison with the accuracy of the manual alignment recorded on a series of patients treated when the new function was not available | The day of the operation |
| Evaluate the percentage of procedures for which similarity points must be added due to an initial delay in automatic merging that the operator considers too long. | The percentage of procedures for which similarity points must be added due to an initial delay of the automatic merge considered too long by the operator is evaluated in comparison with the historical series (manual alignment, when the new function was not available). | The day of the operation |
| Evaluate the failure rate of the Interact Active Tracker automatic alignment. | If the operator is not satisfied with the automatic registration between the CBCT and ultrasound, the number of similarity point(s) to be placed and the time required to make this adjustment will be recorded | The day of the operation |
| Evaluate the secondary and third-party therapeutic effectiveness rate of the procedures. | The failure rate of the Interact Active Tracker automatic alignment is evaluated by the number of procedures where this function is not functional for any reason. Throughout the procedure, the number of times the operator will have to correct the alignment with new anatomical landmarks will be counted. Any failure of the automatic merge will be recorded. | The day of the operation |
| For incomplete responses, estimate the percentage of active tumour (enhanced by contrast material). | The secondary and third-party therapeutic effectiveness rate of the procedures is defined by the number of cases in which two or three ablation procedures will be required to achieve a complete MRI response within one month of the last ablation session. For each tumour, the number of ablation procedures required to achieve a complete MRI response within one month of the last ablation session will be recorded. For patients requiring more than one treatment, only treatments performed over the duration of the study should be included. | One month after the ablation |
| Assess the complication rate. | The complication rate is evaluated by the Dindo-Clavian classification so complication will be recorded and classified | The day of the ablation |
| Evaluate the global survival at 12 months | Overall survival at 12 months. It will be collected by consulting medical records based on the recorded dates of the last visits, images... | 12 months after the ablation |
