Objective To evaluate the application of a puncture guidance supporter in CT guided biopsy and interventional therapy. Methods Totally 468 patients underwent CT interventional biopsy (n=110) or treatment (n=358) using a puncture guidance supporter. The size of lesions was 2-15 cm. CT scanning was performed to determine the entry point, data of bi-directional needle angle α, θ and depth d before operation. After local anesthesia, the needle was punctured into skin through the puncture guidance supporter, the needle overlap CT positioning laser line in tilt angle (α) was adjusted and the puncture direction at angle θ. After CT scanning confirmed the needle aiming at target lesion, punctures were performed with the needle into the depth to hit the target. Results The total puncture hit rate was 100%, and one step hit rate was 96.79%. The average time from location scanning to hit the target was 8.4 min. The incidence of pneumothorax occurred in thorax management was 1.56%. Conclusion The application of puncture guidance supporter in CT interventional diagnosis and treatment makes operation more accurate, safe and convenient.

Objective To explore the effect of radio frequency ablation (RFA) combined with transcatherterarterial chemo embolization (TACE) and percutaneous puncture hydrochloric acid injection(PHI) for hepatic tumors unable to resection. Methods The clinical data of 40 cases of patients with unable resection liver cancer (URLC) treated by RFA combined with TACE and PEI were analyzed retrospectively.Results There were 30 cases of primary hepatic tumor(PHT) and 10 cases of metastasis hepatic tumor(MPT) , in this series. Examination of ultrasound, CT and MRI showed the tumors shrink or steady in 39 patients.Among 30 patients with damage by ethanol, 18 cases were AFP positive before treatment and 16 cases of them AFP decreased to normal level after operation. No severe complication was seen in the series. Conclusion RFA combined with TACE and PEI is a safe, well tolerable and effective method for hepatic cancer, and may improve the treatment efficacy of URLC.
