Interventional clinical study to obtain performance and safety data of the EPIONE® device when used for percutaneous procedures in the lung.
The objectives are: * to evaluate the technical success of the device * to evaluate performance parameters (accuracy measures, adjustements, post-intervention ablation success, local tumor recurrence) * to evaluate the safety of the device 25 subjectsare planned and will undergo an intervention, during which the clinician will use the EPIONE device

The EPIONE device is a user controlled, stereotactic accessory intended to assist in the planning and manual advancement of one or more instruments, as well as in verification of instrument position during Computed Tomography (CT) guided percutaneous procedures.

Feasibility of the Device
Number of lesion target reached ; the lesion target is considered reached when the needle is positioned accurately enough as compared to the planning to allow the planned procedure to be performed.
Time frame: an average of 7 months
Needle Placement Accuracy
accuracy of the needle placement: deviation between the planned and actual needle position once inserted.
Time frame: an average of 7 months
Number of Needle Adjustments
Detail of the number/nature of adjustments performed after the initial insertion of the needle.
Time frame: an average of 7 months
Post-intervention Ablation Success
If the ablation zone is at least the lesion size + 5mm, the ablation is considered successfull. The measure counted is the number of success
Time frame: an average of 1 year
Long-term Efficacy of Ablation
If a tumor progresses locally 12 months after the initial treatment, the long-term efficacy of the ablation is considered failed. We count here the patient treated for which the lesion ablated did not show recurrence after 12 months.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Adverse Event
number of patients experiencing a serious adverse event
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 21 months
Grade of Needle Adjustment
Description of the grade of needle adjustement : minor meaning depth needle adjustment only, medium meaning at lateral needle adjustement (+ or - depth adjustement) or major (meaning complete removal of the needle from the atient body)
