ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To preliminarily verify the accuracy of navigation-assisted seed implantation by comparing pre-operative and actual differences in puncture characteristics and dosimetry in computed tomography (CT)-guided, navigation-assisted radioactive iodine-125 seed implantation, using 3D-printed templates for malignant tumors' treatment.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 27 t umor patients, who were treated with seed implantation under combination guidance in our hospital between December 2019 and December 2020 were enrolled in this study. Navigation needles (n = 1-3) were placed in each patient to obtain pre-operative and intra-operative puncture information, such as angle, depth, insertion point, and tip position. Moreover, dosimetry parameters in pre-operative and post-operative plans, including D90, V100, V150, V200, minimum peripheral dose (MPD), conformal index, external index, and homogeneity index of target area were investigated.

RESULTS: Mean errors of the angle, depth, insertion point, and tip position were 0.5 ±0.5°, 4.0 ±2.0 mm, 1.7 ±1 mm, and 3.1 ±1.8 mm, respectively. There were no significant differences between intra-operative and pre-operative angles (p = 0.271), but there was a significant difference in the depth (p = 0.002). Errors of the angle, depth, and ins ertion point were larger for the pelvic/retroperitoneal area than for the head and neck/chest wall (p < 0.05). With the exception of MPD, there was no significant difference in dosimetry indices between post-operative and preoperative plans (p > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS: Seed implantation under combination guidance showed good accuracy, and the actual intra-operative puncture information and post-operative doses were in agreement with those in the pre-operative plan, thereby demonstrating promising prospects for further development.
