Abstract
Computed Tomography (CT) guided procedures are common minimally invasive technique used to perform diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. These applications include obtaining biopsy samples, delivering medications, aspiring/draining fluids, and ablating regions of interest. This minimally invasive approach is especially common in pediatrics. Approximately five to nine million children receive CTs each year. Despite the excellent boney region discrimination and high resolution possible with CT, there are concerns regarding the risks of ionizing radiation exposure. Exposure is often minimized, as CT exposure in children has been linked to the development cancer in the future.
