Belt device for simplified CT-guided puncture and biopsy: a technical note

W Hruby et al. Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol. 1987.

Abstract

A new radiolucent device for increased accuracy of CT-guided fine-needle punctures permits precise determination of the optimum angle, depth, and position of the fine needle, which can be preset from the data supplied on the CT monitor. Puncture and repeat scans for controlling the tip of the needle can be performed with the patient in a stationary position. The device is designed as a belt that holds a needle holder sheath and a goniometric scale, both of which can be moved to varying positions around the patient.
