Abstract
Over the last 30 years (Haaga 2005), computed tomography (CT) has developed into a well-accepted and widely used guiding tool for a broad range of percutaneous interventions. It can be used either as an alternative to sonography or fluoroscopy or if interventions cannot be done under sonographic or fluoroscopic guidance. In general, CT-guided interventions may be divided into diagnostic interventions and therapeutic interventions, although there are overlaps.
