Gain new confidence and skills for needle interventions
Experience for yourself how real-time 3D image guidance can change your needle interventions at our upcoming workshop.
- Learn all the details of performing 3D image guided needle interventions from an experienced practitioner who has performed over 250 procedures
- Get hands-on practice working with a phantom, guided by a live fluoro/CT overlay image
- Quickly improve your skills in a small group setting with the help of Philips professionals
- Exchange best practices with other participants to gain new insights and avoid common pitfalls
Improving interventional radiology with XperGuide
- Get the control and confidence to potentially avoid critical vessels and healthy tissue with real-time 3D guidance
- Shorten needle interventions
- May reduce extra examinations and enhance patient management for interventional radiology
- Perform biopsies, drainages, RF ablations, and more in the angio lab
Practical information

What you can do after the workshop
- Draw upon best practices gained from an experienced practitioner of needle interventions
- Apply real time needle image guidance in your daily workflow
- Use XperGuide to perform a 3D image guided needle procedure
- Confidently place the needle with the aid of a 2D fluoro image overlaid on an XperCT image
What clinical users are saying
”XperCT and XperGuide offer unique opportunities beyond traditional CT guided interventions: 3D spatial understanding for procedural planning and execution AND live, dynamic C-arm fluoro guidance in one system and in one room.”
Dr. J. Racadio
Cincinnati Children's Hospital, Cincinnati, USA
“The typical length of our procedures with XperGuide is usually 30 to 35 minutes. With CT, we usually have to reserve an hour for the same procedure.”
Dr. M. van Strijen
St. Antonius Hospital, Nieuwegein, the Netherlands
“The integration of Xper CT and Xper Guide, continue the direction of creating a single place and environment for image guided therapy.”
Dr. B. T. Katzen
