Augmented Reality Navigation System (Endosight) for the Guidance of Bone Biopsy

Assessment of Operative Time, Precision, and Safety of an Augmented Reality Navigation System (Endosight) for the Guidance of Bone Biopsy

The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate the duration of the procedure, the precision (distance between the needle tip and the centre of the target), and the safety of endosight system in the guidance for bone biopsies.

In this study results obtained in the prospective group will be compared with those obtained in the retrospective group.

Total N° of patients: 16

PROSPECTIVE GROUP (treated WITH the guidance of endosight):

N° of patients: 8

RETROSPECTIVE GROUP (treated WITHOUT the guidance of endosight):

N° of patients: 8

Main objective of the study:

Reduction of execution times by at least 10 minutes; Reduction of the number of CT scans by at least 2 scans.

N°of hospitals involved: 2.

Duration: maximum 6 months from the date of the first enrollment.

No follow-up is expected.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patient with a bone lesion for which a percutaneous biopsy is indicated;
• Informed consent signed by the patient for participation in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Age < 18 years;
• Pregnant and lactating women (assessed through auto declaration of the patient)
