Especially in combination with early detection.

-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

-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

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.
