Abstract
Navigation systems have the potential to achieve a high accuracy for percutaneous
ablation of tumors even for those in difficult locations. In the last years, successful
research has been conducted to make navigation devices applicable to percutaneous
tumor ablation with special planning software that now allows high accuracy even for
deep-located small lesions close to critical structures. Because of the high number
of available navigation systems, this review focuses on those with preexisting clinical
studies.
