CT guided biopsy using additional laser guidance: Case series from India comparing with conventional free hand technique

Abstract

Additional laser guidance during CT guided biopsy has shown promising results in terms of accuracy and patient throughput. We used a simple laser guidance unit that can be easily integrated with any of the CT units for additional laser guidance. We report the first case series of CT guided procedures done using this laser device in India comparing it with conventional free hand techniques.
