Abstract

Flat-detector CT coupled to an angiography device provides an imaging technique for interventions which can be used for electromagnetically navigated percutaneous punctures. This report explains the functionality of an electromagnetic navigation system and describes the course of an electromagnetically navigated puncture and the capabilities of such a system in the clinical routine.
