    A new device simplifies obtaining cytologic specimens using a Chiba needle under CT guidance. This innovation reduces procedure time and patient radiation exposure by improving needle depth accuracy.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Interventional Radiology
    • Cytopathology

    Background:

    • Accurate needle placement is crucial for effective cytologic specimen retrieval.
    • Computed tomography (CT) guided procedures require precise depth control to minimize radiation exposure.
    • Existing methods for depth assessment can be time-consuming and necessitate repeat scans.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel, cost-effective device for enhancing Chiba needle cytologic sampling under CT guidance.
    • To improve the accuracy of needle depth placement during CT-guided procedures.
    • To reduce procedural duration and patient radiation dose.

    Main Methods:

    • A simple, inexpensive plastic sheath device was developed for use with a Chiba needle.
    • The sheath was designed with metric markings to serve as a depth gauge.

  • The technique was applied to obtain cytologic specimens under CT guidance.

    • Main Results:

    • The device facilitated accurate needle placement, obviating the need for multiple depth-checking scans.
    • Procedural length was decreased due to the improved depth gauging.
    • Unnecessary radiation exposure to the patient was reduced.

    Conclusions:

    • The described technique and device offer a practical and efficient method for CT-guided cytologic sampling.
    • This approach enhances safety by minimizing radiation exposure and procedure time.
    • The innovation represents a valuable improvement for interventional radiology and cytopathology practices.
