Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Advanced Image Guidance for this study was used during laparoscopic microwave ablation surgery to help the surgeon accurately place the ablation needle into the tumor of patients diagnosed with liver cancer.

Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Successful Insertion of Ablation Antenna Into Target Lesion
- timeFrame
- Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 to 3 days.
- description
- Once the ablation antenna has been placed into the target lesion, the success or failure of the attempt will be confirmed with conventional ultrasound alone, in two planes. If the placement is deemed successful, the surgeon will commence the ablation of the tumor. If the placement is deemed insufficient, the probe will be removed and another placement will be attempted using conventional guidance.
