Cone Beam Computertomography (CBCT) in Interventional Chest Medicine - High Feasibility for Endobronchial Realtime Navigation
INTRODUCTION Currently there are several advanced guiding techniques for pathoanatomical diagnosis of incidental solitary pulmonary nodules (iSPN): Electromagnetic navigation (EMN) with or without endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) with miniprobe, transthoracic ultrasound (TTUS) for needle approach to the pleural wall and adjacent lung and computed tomography (CT) -guidance for (seldom if ever use...
متن کاملQuality Assurance (QA) for Kilovoltage Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)
Precise targeting of the tumor is very important and imaging can be immensely helpful in this process. Hence the quality assurance of the imaging systems used to guide the beam is also essential. One could argue that it is as critical as quality assurance for the radiation dose output, since the right amount of radiation dose delivered to the wrong location can be as detrimental as delivering t...
متن کاملCone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in dental practice.
UNLABELLED Cone-beam CT is an exciting development in dental and maxillofacial imaging. This article gives an overview of the subject and discusses some of the implications for dental practitioners. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Dentists should be aware of technological advances that potentially are going to have major implications on their practice. They should have knowledge of the indications, limita...
متن کاملMega Voltage Cone Beam Computed Tomography (MV- CBCT) using a Standard Medical Linear Accelerator and EPID: A feasibility study.
Introduction: The success of radiotherapy cancer treatment delivery depends on the accuracy of patient positioning for each treatment session. A number of kilovoltage x-ray volumetric imaging modalities with an additional source and detector have been developed to allow patient set-up verification based on the internal anatomy, but a significant portion of medical linacs are on...
متن کاملRadiation Exposure of Patients by Cone Beam CT during Endobronchial Navigation - A Phantom Study
RATIONALE Cone Beam Computed Tomography imaging has become increasingly important in many fields of interventional therapies. OBJECTIVE Lung navigation study which is an uncommon soft tissue approach. METHODS As no effective organ radiation dose levels were available for this kind of Cone Beam Computed Tomography application we simulated in our DynaCT (Siemens AG, Forchheim, Germany) suite ...
