Effectiveness of Attaching a Lead Drape to a Radioprotective Shield for CT Fluoroscopy–Guided Procedures

JVIR

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).

Image-Guided Epidural Injections for Back Pain

Midstate Radiology Associates

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.
