Initial percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) tube placement leads to more radiation exposure for pregnant women with suspected kidney stones, according to a study published October 27 in Urology. In cases of suspected obstructing nephrolithiasis, intervention may be required. mGy Number of procedures required with fluoroscopy 0.5

Continuous-rotation computed tomography (CT) fluoroscopy is an imaging modality widely used in interventional radiology (IR) procedures, facilitating precise punctures even into small lesions and lesions deep within the body by rapid, real-time, and high-resolution tomographic images (1,2).

Role of Imaging In Epidural Injections In the 1980s, radiologists began using fluoroscopy to assist with needle placement. Today, CT or fluoroscopy technology helps guide the needle to the precise injection site. Studies have shown that blind injections may be inaccurate 25 to nearly 40 percent of the time.
