OBJECTIVE: The development of a C-arm cone-beam CT unit coupled with flat detectors has markedly increased anatomic visualization capabilities for interventional radiology procedures. We present technology in which fluoroscopy and 3D imaging from a cone-beam CT-flat-detector C-arm unit are combined with an integrated tracking and navigation system. A description of the technology and representative clinical cases are presented. CONCLUSION: This new combination further increases interventional radiologic capabilities because it provides real-time procedural evaluation and tracking.
