"Historically, fluoroscopy was the main image guidance tool for interventional radiology procedures. The developments in CT led to it becoming an increasingly used tool in image-guided procedures e.g. chest biopsies. CT fluoroscopy combines the cross-sectional image targeting provided by CT with the real-time imaging, tracking and movement perception of fluoroscopy for interventional procedures. It allows continuous update of images at a fixed position and is commonly used for CT-guided biopsies and fluid drainages."
