Rapid and accurate needle placement was feasible using a subject-specific, custom-drilled, needle guidance grid template fabricated intraprocedurally. Targeting accuracy and performance were similar to more complex and expensive tracking systems which may enable accurate intraprocedural implementation of treatment plans in the liver or other organs. This may be of value in complex ablation cases or in areas where more advanced guidance systems are not available.
