Intraoperative Imaging and Image-Guided Therapy

Abstract

Image-guided therapy (IGT) aims to use imaging to improve the localization and targeting of diseased tissue and to monitor and control treatments. During the past decade, image-guided surgeries and image-guided minimally invasive interventions have emerged as advances that can change traditional more invasive approaches. Advanced imaging technologies like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and even positron emission tomography (PET) entered into operating rooms and interventional suites to complement already available routine imaging devices like ultrasound (US) and x-ray. At the same time, navigational tools, computer-assisted surgery devices, and image-guided robots also became part of the revolution in interventional radiology suites and the operating room. Perhaps more than any other clinical tools, these technologies required and continue to require collaboration among a team of physicians, engineers, and computer scientists; in fact, the “team approach” is characteristic to the development and clinical use of new so-called therapy delivery systems in which the three components of image-guided therapies (imaging, guidance, and therapy devices) are closely integrated.
