Outline of Final Research Achievements

We devised a method that inserted various shape devices from several places in patient's body and moved organs using the devices, like operation under laparoscopy, to puncture the target in CT Fluoroscopy-guided procedures.
We demonstrated the method of puncture in experiment.
We think that we can perform more accurate, more quick and more difficult puncture using the devices in CT Fluoroscopy-guided procedures.
