Tips Prior to patient transport, ask the performing MD about
laterality, patient positioning, and lesion location Supine, prone, decubitus
Have 2 or more additional people help load the patient onto the CT table
Minimize patient movement - secure the torso and extremities with straps
Make space for both the sedation nurse and MD equipment
Disposable versus reusable grid for planning Tape with a string of paperclips work well
Breathing instructions per MD preference
Be aware of the sterile field

Additional Tips
Make sure the room has cleared before each CT scan Make sure everyone is wearing lead if CT fluoro
used
Quickly manage the CT scanner buttons to move the patient in and out between needle advancements
Have appropriate emergency backup ready (ex. anesthesia team, chest tube, code activation)

Low Dose CT Concept
IR may use many repeated scans during positioning of biopsy
needles and acquisition of samples – but want to use minimal radiation dose
Lung and bone have high intrinsic contrast – contrast-to-noise
(CNR) maintained despite low signal to noise (SNR) ○ Nodule vs Lung
- Take advantage of this
Soft tissue biopsy – needs more dose, less intrinsic contrast
○ Liver, pelvic biopsy
Axial vs. helical
○ use axial for less overscan and less dose

Axial scan (not helical)
2.5 mm (do not need thinner)

Image reconstruction
Uses noiser data.
Standard Algorithm Maintain signal to noise

Take Home Points 1. Prior to the patient's arrival, confirm with the
performing physician laterality, patient positioning, lesion location
2. Minimize patient movement - secure the torso and extremities with straps
3. Make sure the room is clear when CT scanning
4. Be aware of the sterile surgical field
5. Have appropriate emergency backup (ex. anesthesia, chest tube, code activation)

Utilize your institutions low dose technique
Small lesions may need increased mA to see better
Start with larger cuts 5mm -> may need thinner 2.5mm
Gantry tilt may be needed to align with the needle trajectory
CT Fluoro Overall more radiation. Use lead protection
