Interventional CT

To facilitate CT interventional procedures, we created

dedicated multislice and single slice sequential modes.

• Biopsy

This is the multislice biopsy mode. E. g. 4 slices,

4.5 mm each, will be reconstructed and displayed for

each scan.

• BiopsyCombine

This is a single slice biopsy mode. 2 x 5 mm slice

collimation is used to get a combined 10 mm slice.

The Basics

Any of these protocols can be appended to a spiral

protocol for CT interventional procedures, such

as a biopsy, abscess drainage, pain therapy, minimum

invasive operations, joint studies, and arthrograms.

10 scans are predefined. You can repeat it by clicking

the chronicle with the right mouse button and select

“repeat”, or simply change the number of scans to 99

before you start the first scan.

You can “Append” any routine protocol after the

interventional procedure for a final check and docu-

mentation, e. g. a short range of spiral scanning for

the biopsy region.

The table height can be adjusted to minimum

255 mm.
