Summary
This study tested two experimental methods (a laser and a plastic block) to help doctors insert a biopsy needle at the correct angle during CT scans. Seventeen adults scheduled for a standard CT-guided biopsy took part. The goal was to see if these methods improve accuracy compared to the usual approach. No treatment was given; only the needle angle was measured.
