Brief summary

Philips Healthcare has added a virtual path planner to the current commercially available XperGuide software platform and that has the potential to significantly reduce dose during image-guided needle interventions.

Detailed description

The investigational device is used for image guidance by virtually planned path and X-ray data.

Interventions

RADIATIONXperGuide

Live 3D image needle guidance which overlays live fluoroscopy and 3D soft tissue imaging data from previous acquired CT, MR or XperCT.

RADIATIONXperGuide with virtual path planning

Instrument guidance allowing certain tasks that would normally occur using continuous X-ray guidance to be performed with reduced dose for patient and staff.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
System Usability Scale (SUS) Score as a Measure of Qualitative Clinical UsefulnessPatients will be followed starting from the procedure until hospital discharge or until 2 weeks after date of procedure at the latestEvaluate the workflow, usability, and clinical impact of device by assessing clinical outcome and success of the procedures. The SUS is a simple, ten-item attitude Likert scale giving a global view of subjective assessments of usability developed by Brooke, J. The user needs to provide agreement or disagreement for the 10 statements. After the appearing of the SUS in literature and once part of the ISO standard ISO 9241 Part 11 it has become an industry standard and has been used for over 25 years to measure usability. The minimum score is 0 and the maximum core is 100. Analysis of 500 studies with SUS showed that the average SUS score is a 68. A SUS score above a 68 would be considered above average and anything below 68 is below average

Outcome results

Primary

System Usability Scale (SUS) Score as a Measure of Qualitative Clinical Usefulness

Evaluate the workflow, usability, and clinical impact of device by assessing clinical outcome and success of the procedures. The SUS is a simple, ten-item attitude Likert scale giving a global view of subjective assessments of usability developed by Brooke, J. The user needs to provide agreement or disagreement for the 10 statements. After the appearing of the SUS in literature and once part of the ISO standard ISO 9241 Part 11 it has become an industry standard and has been used for over 25 years to measure usability. The minimum score is 0 and the maximum core is 100. Analysis of 500 studies with SUS showed that the average SUS score is a 68. A SUS score above a 68 would be considered above average and anything below 68 is below average

Time frame: Patients will be followed starting from the procedure until hospital discharge or until 2 weeks after date of procedure at the latest

Population: SUS Score is only assessed for new technology (arm/group: XperGuide with virtual path planning)
