03:36 PM Abstract No. 377 Reduced computed tomography-guided chest biopsy procedure time and radiation dose with an axial, pedal-controlled acquisition technique

Computed tomography (CT) interventions are often performed using a helical acquisition technique while the operator is in a control room. We compare an axial technique using a gantry-side pedal to the helical technique for chest biopsies in terms of time, number of acquisitions, and radiation dose to operator and patient.
