Intraprocedural Imaging and Navigational Tools in Oncologic and Non-oncologic Interventions
摘要
Since its inception, the field of interventional radiology has relied on a variety of advanced imaging techniques to successfully perform minimally invasive procedures. Over the years, novel technologies for detecting and visualizing pathology have advanced patient care as well as the specialty. Often, procedural success depends on the operator’s ability to track their instruments accurately. In this chapter, we discuss cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), an imaging technology that gives interventionalists the ability to take advantage of spatial information provided by conventional CT in a standard fluoroscopy suite. Other current navigational tools, including trajectory guidance, image fusion, and electromagnetic navigation (EMN), will also be discussed.
