Abstract
A light-guidance system that uses intersecting He-Ne laser beams to provide precise guidance for biopsy approaches from any direction (including compound angles) during CT [computed tomography]-guided biopsy of the [human] chest and abdomen. Interactive software provides visualization of the proposed path, indicates the segment of that path that will pass through each section, and displays the settings for the apparatus.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
