CT scan has advantages over conventional fluoroscopy, including improved anatomic localization.
We use CT guided procedures in some of the selected cases where precision is better compare to fluoroscopy.
Like Neurolytic Celiac Plexus Block for abdominal cancer pain and sometimes for Gasserrian Ganglion Block for Trigeminal Neuralgia.
However, concerns remain over CT possibly bringing higher radiation doses and longer procedure times.
