C-arm cone beam computed tomographic needle path overlay for fluoroscopic-guided placement of translumbar central venous catheters

Alda Tam et al. Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol. 2009 Jul.

Abstract

C-arm cone beam computed tomography is an advanced 3D imaging technology that is currently available on state-of-the-art flat-panel-based angiography systems. The overlay of cross-sectional imaging information can now be integrated with real-time fluoroscopy. This overlay technology was used to guide the placement of three percutaneous translumbar inferior vena cava catheters.
