Interventional CT - Biopsy

To facilitate CT interventional procedures, we created
dedicated multislice and single slice sequential modes.
Any of these protocols can be appended to a spiral pro-
tocol for CT interventional procedures, such as biopsy,
abscess drainage, pain therapy, minimum invasive
operations, joint studies, and arthrograms. Adjust the
mAs according to the body region before loading.
10 scans are predefined. You can repeat it by clicking
the chronicle with the right mouse button and select
repeat, or simply change the number of scans to 99
before you start the first scan.
You can "Append" any routine protocol after the inter-
ventional procedure for a final check and documenta-
tion, e.g. a short range of spiral scanning for the biopsy
region.
The table height can be adjusted to a minimum of
255 mm.
Zoom and pan of the images is possible within the
Biopsy Mode.
