Abstract
- A recently developed real-time computed tomography (CT) fluoroscopy system, which provides effective real-time reconstruction and display of CT images, was used to monitor nonvascular interventional procedures performed in 57 patients. Biopsy of thoracic lesions (n = 38), biopsy or drainage of pelvic lesions (n = 6), drainage or aspiration of intracranial hematomas (n = 9), and other procedures (n = 4) were performed. CT fluoroscopy successfully depicted the entire procedure in all patients. In thoracic lesions, a mean 1.3 passes was necessary to gain access to the lesion. Sufficient cytologic samples were obtained in 32 of 33 pulmonary lesions with a mean diameter of 26 mm.
