Overview
CT guidance provides precise needle localization for biopsy and drainage with real time or intermittent imaging and sterile technique.
Planning and Access
Perform pre procedure planning with contrast enhanced imaging to identify safe access windows and avoid critical structures.
Technique and Safety
Use coaxial technique when appropriate monitor for complications with immediate post procedure noncontrast CT and provide post procedure observation.
Documentation and Specimen Handling
Record needle trajectory images and ensure proper labeling and transport of specimens for pathology and microbiology.
