Abstract
Reducing the radiation dose should be an endeavor not only for diagnostic CT exams but also for interventional procedures using CT-guidance. Given that interventional procedures vary in scope and complexity, there is greater variability in radiation doses delivered during CT procedures. The goal in an interventional procedure is simply to advance the interventional instruments into the target lesions, and as such diagnostic level doses are not required and only narrow scan range scans need to be acquired. Adherence to the principles outlined in this article will allow such procedures to be performed with reduced radiation doses.
