Title: CT FLUOROSCOPY FOR THORACIC INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES
Abstract: In the past several years, CT fluoroscopy has proved a valuable new technique in guiding the performance of intrathoracic procedures. Several approaches to using CT fluoroscopy are discussed. We have found an interrupted, real-time technique optimal to facilitate biopsy of percutaneous lung nodules, particularly small lesions. The technique is also valuable in assisting thoracic drainage procedures. This article also discusses the use of CT fluoroscopy to guide transbronchial needle aspiration, which is another potentially important application.
