Lung Lesions Biopsy in Children by Computed Tomography (CT) Fluoroscopy Guided Versus Conventional CT Scan Guided
Abstract Background Computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy of the lung is a well-established method of diagnosis. The aim of this study was to determine the success rate of fluoroscopic CT (FCT) and conventional CT (CCT) in needle navigation biopsies from the lung lesions. Materials and Methods A total of 78 patients were prospectively enrolled to receive CT-guided biopsy with (group I, n=2...
متن کاملCT fluoroscopy--guided interventional procedures: techniques and radiation dose to radiologists.
PURPOSE To determine the radiation dose to radiologists who perform computed tomographic (CT) fluoroscopic interventional procedures by using a quick-check method and a low-milliampere technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two hundred twenty CT fluoroscopy--guided interventional procedures were performed in 189 patients. Procedures included 57 spinal injections, 17 spinal biopsies, 24 chest biopsi...
متن کاملOptimization of Head CT Protocol to Reduce the Absorbed Dose in Eye Lenses and Thyroid: A Phantom Study
Introduction: Utilization of computed tomography (CT) scans is increasing annually. This study aimed to reduce the absorbed dose of sensitive organs in the head (eye lenses and thyroid) and to assess changes in resultant images quality in head scans when the radiation dose is decreased. Material and Methods: An anthropomorphic phantom was examined with head protocols in both helical and sectio...
متن کاملCT fluoroscopy-guided cervical interlaminar steroid injections: safety, technique, and radiation dose parameters.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cervical epidural steroid injections are approached with trepidation because of concerns over safety, including direct spinal cord injury. CT fluoroscopy is an alternative to conventional fluoroscopy that could potentially help reduce the risk of injury by providing improved localization of the needle tip. We sought to determine rates of technical success and risk of comp...
متن کاملRadiation Protection in CT Fluoroscopy
This article discusses the dose to the operator and radiation protection in computed tomographic fluoroscopy (CTF)-guided intervention. One of the major limitations of CTF is excessive radiation exposure to the operator, in particular, to his or her hands. Therefore, we developed biopsy needle-holders that permit the operator to manipulate the needle without placing his or her hands in the dire...
