We describe a light-guidance system that uses intersecting helium-neon laser beams to provide precise guidance for biopsy approaches from any direction (including compound angles) during CT-guided biopsy of the chest and abdomen. Interactive software provides visualization of the proposed path, indicates the segment of that path that will pass through each section, and displays the settings for the apparatus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
