Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging and Interventional Radiology
  • Surgical Device Innovation

Context:

  • Computed tomography (CT)-guided procedures are essential for accurate minimally invasive interventions.
  • Existing methods for needle guidance can be complex, costly, or require specialized sterile equipment.

Purpose:

  • To present a novel, cost-effective device for enhancing CT-guided puncture accuracy and ease of use.
  • To describe a technique that minimizes the need for disposable or sterilized materials during puncture procedures.

Summary:

  • The described device utilizes a buna tourniquet for skin marking and a movable light-visor for real-time needle guidance during CT-guided punctures.
  • This approach offers significant advantages, including eliminating the need for disposable or sterilized components.
  • The technique ensures complete hand freedom for the operator, promoting simplicity and speed.
