Microwave ablation is a promising option in lung cancer therapy. However, it's rarely used in percutaneous lung cancer
therapy compared to liver cancer, because the presence of a large amount of air within the lung creates significant back
shadowing artifacts that preclude adequate delineation of anatomic details on sonography. To utilize microwave ablation
in malignant lung tumor therapy, we developed a novel percutaneous intervention surgery navigation system (CAINS-I),
which capitalizes on using computer assisted technology to help lung cancer patients whose condition are not amenable
to surgical resection, sonographic guidance and intraoperative CT surgery. In these surgeries, preoperative CT images
with patient respiration state are first acquired, which are then visualized using GPU-accelerated volume rendering. The
optimal surgery trajectories are then planned based on 3D thermal field computation and surgery simulation in the
surgery planning software. During the surgery, the patient breath is control by a portable volume ventilator system which
could limit the movement and displacement of the tumor. Then the microwave probe is punctured into the tumor
according to the dynamic respiratory state and the tumor is ablated by microwave energy. After the surgery,
postoperative CT are acquired and compared to the preoperative CT, and the surgery is evaluated by compare
preoperative and postoperative CT images. The development of this technique represented an advance from the
traditional ways for lung cancer therapy and significantly extends the indications of microwave ablation.
