New tech aims to make medical needle procedures safer and more precise

NCT ID NCT02563444

Summary

This study tested whether combining ultrasound with CT scan data could help doctors place needles more accurately during procedures like biopsies or injections. Researchers compared the computer-predicted needle path with the actual path seen on a follow-up CT scan in 25 patients. The goal was to see if this fusion technology could improve precision while potentially reducing radiation exposure compared to using CT guidance alone.
