Resumen

The recent introduction of CT continuous imaging, also called real-time CT and CT fluoroscopy, has improved the ease of performing interventional thoracic procedures. This article discusses the use of CT fluoroscopy to facilitate percutaneous needle aspiration biopsy and pleural drainage in relation to established techniques. We also describe our experience in applying CT fluoroscopy for a newer application, guidance of transbronchial bronchoscopic biopsy.
