Abstract
This proof-of-concept study shows that EMN guidance has equivalent accuracy of needle placement to conventional CT fluoroscopy-guided methods in swine. EMN is also associated with favorable radiation-dose and time-of-procedure profiles for biopsy of liver lesions. Clinical studies are needed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this technology in the biopsy of lesions in anatomically challenging locations that require steep angles of needle insertion.
