Micromate™’s live-imaging capabilities made operating soft tissue such as the liver more seamless, since they allow to compensate target displacement in real-time. Micromate™ helped the clinical team critically increase the likelihood of reaching the liver metastasis for treatment, whose texture rendered it almost undetectable in CT and US. Attached to the flange of the syringe is a blue Syringe Holder.
#Micromate syringe series
Six months after treatment, the patient is in complete remission, showing no signs of vital tumor in the liver. The 800 series syringes are the reinforced plunger version of the original 700 series syringes. The Micromate™ device was gross-positioned near the predefined entry-point and remotely controlled for alignment to the surgical plan under fluoroscopic live imaging.Īfter robotic alignment, the 15G microwave needle was inserted along the predefined trajectory through the Micromate™ needle guide, again under fluoroscopic live imaging.Īblation was then performed with 100W of power for 4 minutes, resulting in an ellipsoid-shaped ablation zone with a good safety margin. Image fusion and planning were performed using a Philips Allura Xper FD20 angiography device and the Xper Guide planning software. MR clearly shows the metastasis in liver segment VIII, detectability on CT is low to none Ģ-3) Coronal and transversal planes of fused AngioCT/MRI volumes with planned needle entry, path and target Ĥ) Microwave ablation needle positioned according to the surgical plan ĥ) Clinical setup overview during the ablation step Ħ) The final ablation zone as shown on follow-up MRI. The single liver metastasis was treated with a percutaneous, robotic-guided Microwave Ablation using Angio CT/MRI fusion, as the lesion was not detectable using Ultrasound or CT.ġ) Pre-operative MRI and CT scan. The hight of motor can be adjusted as 2cm-18cm (It depends on the fine adjustment knob height)The knob’s diameter should smaller than 5 cm. Surgical removal of the breast and colon primary tumor was the preferred treatment. Description MicroMate is specially designed for microscope focus stacking.The motor on MicroMate is 400 step 0.9 degree.
Patient’s profile: 43-year-old female, with breast cancer and colon carcinoma, and a single metastasis in liver segment VIII, histologically proven to be a secondary blastomatous lesion from breast cancer.
We’re doing it because you can’t just talk the talk, you need to walk the walk, and nothing comes closer to experiencing Micromate ™‘s skillset than having real cases portrayed by actual physicians that are currently using it.įor our first case report, we head out to the Ordensklinikum Linz Barmherzige Schwestern Hospital’s Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, in an intervention led by Dr. This week, we’re kicking off a new chapter in our blog: Micromate ™ case report.
