CTvezérelt

CTvezérelt, also known as CT-guided or CT-controlled, refers to a medical procedure where a computed tomography (CT) scan is used to guide the placement of a needle or other instrument into a specific target area within the body. This technique is commonly used in interventional radiology and oncology to perform procedures such as biopsies, ablations, or the insertion of catheters.

The CTvezérelt procedure begins with the patient lying on a CT scanner table. A contrast agent is injected into the bloodstream to enhance the visibility of blood vessels and other structures. The radiologist then uses the CT images to guide the needle or instrument to the desired location. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and may be done on an outpatient basis.

The main advantage of CTvezérelt is its high accuracy in targeting specific areas within the body. This is particularly useful for procedures involving complex anatomy or when there is a need for precise placement of the instrument. However, the procedure can be more time-consuming and may involve higher radiation exposure compared to other imaging modalities.

CTvezérelt is a valuable tool in the management of various medical conditions, including cancer, liver diseases, and vascular disorders. It allows for minimally invasive procedures, reducing patient discomfort and the risk of complications associated with larger incisions. The procedure is typically performed by a team of specialists, including radiologists, anesthesiologists, and surgeons, to ensure the best possible outcome for the patient.
