CT-guided interventionsInnovative CT solutions for efficient procedure planning and needle guidance
CT-guided interventions are always critical and require great accuracy and efficiency. Modern CT scanners and advanced technologies can help the radiologist position the needle safely and reach the target area faster and with greater precision – even in challenging procedures with double angulated access paths.

iMAR is designed to yield images with a reduced level of metal artifacts compared to conventional reconstruction if the underlying CT data is distorted by metal being present in the scanned object. The exact amount of metal artifact reduction and the corresponding improvement in image quality achievable depends on a number of factors, including composition and size of the metal part within the object, patient size, anatomical location and clinical practice. It is recommended to perform iMAR reconstruction in addition to conventional reconstruction.
