    A new stereotactic apparatus enables computed tomographic (CT) guided percutaneous needle biopsies without causing image artifacts. This system facilitates accurate CT data transfer for improved minimally invasive procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Radiology
    • Medical Devices

    Background:

    • Percutaneous needle biopsy requires precise targeting for diagnostic accuracy.
    • Computed tomography (CT) offers detailed anatomical visualization for guidance.
    • Existing stereotactic systems may introduce artifacts in CT imaging, complicating interpretation.

    Observation:

    • A novel stereotactic apparatus designed for CT-guided procedures was developed.
    • A specialized program facilitates seamless transfer of CT scan data to the apparatus.
    • The apparatus is engineered to prevent the introduction of artifacts into CT images.

    Findings:

    • The stereotactic apparatus successfully integrates with CT imaging without causing artifacts.
    • Preliminary application in 36 patients demonstrated feasibility for 34 biopsies and two nerve blocks.
