New fluoroscopic CT procedures allow radiologists to better guide tissue biopsy and allows the guidance of minimally invasive surgery or micro-therapy. Conventional CT can only acquires one image at a time, like a pocket camera or simple radiograph. Fluoro CT is more like a video camera (or x-ray fluoroscope) and allows acquisition and immediate display of up to 9 images per second. Thus Fluoro CT allows the physician to continuously monitor the trajectory of the needle or surgical instrument as it is inserted, eliminating the slow slice by slice process and allowing a significant streamlining of CT guided interventional procedures.
