Abstract

Computed tomographic fluoroscopy (CTF) is one of the most recent developments in helical computed tomography (CT), which is increasingly being used in interventional radiology. The method combines the advantages of CT with the real-time capabilities of ultrasonography. This article reviews the current clinical applications of CTF in the monitoring of abdominopelvic interventions with reference to published clinical studies.

Key words: Abdomen, interventional procedure—Computed tomography, guidance—Computed tomography, radiation exposure—Computed tomography, utilization—Fluoroscopy, technology.
