CT- and MR-Guided Interventions in Radiology

  • 1944 Accesses

Abstract

Computer-assisted navigated interventions gain increasing importance in interventional radiology. Using frameless stereotactic navigation systems, the interventionalist can navigate a pointer and other instruments on multiplanar reconstructed images in real time. Sophisticated preoperative planning and simulation permits arbitrarily angulated guided puncturing through adjustable rigid aiming devices (Bale et al. 1997, 2000, 2001, 2006; Bale and Widmann 2007).
