Perfint Maxio is an advanced CT guided positioning system for interventional procedures such as biopsy, FNAC, pain care, drainage and tumor ablation. Its able to visualize and plan the entire ablation procedure in 3D all before advancing a single probe into the patient.

Once the plan is confirmed, Perfint Maxio's targeting system, combined with adaptive intraoperative registration, provides spatial positioning and orientation for a probe guide, through which the clinician then carefully advances each probe and performs the ablative procedure.

Once ablation has been completed, Perfint Maxio's visualization tool allows the clinician to verify if the procedure was executed as planned and determine whether additional treatments may be required.

-Systems are very expensive

-The Entire facility would need to upgrade the computer systems with a faster processor

-Another disadvantage is that current operating room instruments and equipment are not necessarily compatible with the new robotic systems.

-concerns about technical glitches that might occur during the surgery.

-The procedure is highly technical

-Some systems are to large

With MAXIO

-Clinicians are better able to plan interventional oncology procedures

-Decision on optimal points to place electrodes and antennae into large tumours for complete and quick overlapping ablations

-Accuracy of needle placement

-The radiation dose to the patient is minimized by reduction in the number of needle passes

-Drastically reduces procedural pain and discomfort

-Radiologist is not exposed to any radiation, as needle insertion is done without real-time imaging"

-reduce the potential for unintended organ damage due to repeat punctures

-reduce the need for repeat scans exposing the patient to more radiation

It combines tumour visualisation in 3D and procedure planning with robotic targeting that helps clinicians achieve consistent procedure quality. With visualisation, planning and needle placement key to delivering thermal or other energy beams to blast the tumour, the Maxio helps clinicians perform the ablation procedure safely and with consistent quality outcomes.

I think this is a great advance in technology. With precise accuracy and visualization of tumors, it would provide a drastic increase in cancer survival rates

Especially in combination with early detection.
