IMPPACT - Image-based Multi-scale Physiological Planning for Ablation Cancer Treatment
(details) |
IMPPACT is a European research project, which develops an intervention planning system for Radiofrequency Ablation of malignant liver tumours. TU Graz is dealing with medical visualization and augmented reality in the project. Problem or Context Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive form to treat cancer without open surgery, by placing a needle inside the malignancy and destroying it through intensive heating. Though the advantages of this approach are obvious, the intervention is currently hard to plan, almost impossible to monitor or assess, and therefore is not the first choice for treatment. Project IMPPACT will develop a physiological model of the liver and simulate the RFA intervention result, accounting for patient specific physiological factors.
Mathematical modelling together with experimental validation lead to a patient specific intervention planning system. read more Expected Results & Impacts IMPPACT will be modelling a physiological organ including the metabolism and patient specific tissue properties. This alone is a huge step forward as compared to the state-of-the-art intervention planning systems that do not address this issue. The IPS will allow prediction of treatment results on a patient specific base. It will therefore bring down the risk of local recurrences and eliminate the nowadays so common repeated treatments of the same tumour, making RFA an as effective treatment as resection. |
