摘要

Percutaneous transthoracic puncture of small pulmonary nodules is technically challenging. We developed a novel electromagnetic navigation puncture system for the puncture of sub-centimeter lung nodules by combining multiple deep learning models with electromagnetic and spatial localization technologies. We compared the performance of DL-EMNS and conventional CT-guided methods in percutaneous lung punctures using phantom and animal models. In the phantom study, the DL-EMNS group showed a higher technical success rate (95.6% vs. 77.8%, p = 0.027), smaller error (1.47 ± 1.62 mm vs. 3.98 ± 2.58 mm, p < 0.001), shorter procedure duration (291.56 ± 150.30 vs. 676.44 ± 246.12 s, p < 0.001), and fewer number of CT acquisitions (1.2 ± 0.66 vs. 2.93 ± 0.98, p < 0.001) compared to the traditional CT-guided group. In the animal study, DL-EMNS significantly improved technical success rate (100% vs. 84.0%, p = 0.015), reduced operation time (121.36 ± 38.87 s vs. 321.60 ± 129.12 s, p < 0.001), number of CT acquisitions (1.09 ± 0.29 vs. 2.96 ± 0.73, p < 0.001) and complication rate (0% vs. 20%, p = 0.002). In conclusion, with the assistance of DL-EMNS, the operators got better performance in the percutaneous puncture of small pulmonary nodules.
