In a phantom and in 37 patients, a simple laser guidance system for computed tomography (CT)-guided procedures used the software program of the CT scanner and a laser beam mounted on the CT gantry without need for additional software or components. The skin entry point and angulation of the target path were determined. Then the system projected the desired needle path (including compound angulation), allowing accurate needle placement in all cases, even in small lesions.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007834 Lasers An optical source that emits photons in a coherent beam. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) is brought about using devices that transform light of varying frequencies into a single intense, nearly nondivergent beam of monochromatic radiation. Lasers operate in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or X-ray regions of the spectrum.
