A laser marker system (LMS) improves CT-guided interventions by enhancing target definition and procedure planning. This leads to fewer control scans, reduced needle deviations, and shorter procedure times, making it ideal for complex cases.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • CT-guided interventions require precise target localization.
  • Traditional methods like crossgrids have limitations in accuracy and efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a simple laser marker system (LMS) in CT-guided interventions.
  • To compare LMS with a simple crossgrid for target definition and procedural accuracy.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative study involving 130 cases: 75 using LMS and 55 using a crossgrid.
  • Interventions included diagnostic biopsies and lumbar sympathectomies.
  • LMS allowed for pre-procedural planning and real-time needle position monitoring.

Main Results:

  • LMS use reduced necessary control scans by approximately 70% and needle corrections by 30%.

  • Average target deviation decreased to below 5 mm in 50% of LMS cases.
  • Procedure duration was significantly reduced with LMS.

    • Conclusions:

    • Laser marker systems are recommended for CT-guided interventions to improve quality assurance, reduce radiation dose, and enhance handling.
    • LMS is particularly beneficial for interventions involving small targets, oblique needle paths, or tilted gantries.
