The use of needle guidance software within interventional radiology

Abstract

Cone Beam CT (CBCT) has allowed for the expansion of the examinations/procedures that can be performed within the interventional radiology suite. Many of these procedures were once only possible within CT, however with the availability of CBCT and needle guidance software within the interventional suite these exams can be brought into the Interventional setting. This has allowed for the improved safety and care of the patients whilst not limiting the 89 imaging facilities available to the radiologist. With improved experience, knowledge and confidence in using needle guidance even the most complex cases have the possibility of being performed within the interventional suite
