We have already done large number of biopsies under the guidance of new attachment. I found PIGA to be extremely accurate in targeting the lesion, easy to handle, flexible and fairly quick. We have done biopsies from deep-seated lesions in hila, peripancreatic area etc., with high confidence level and hundred percent yield.

PIGA CT was very useful for fiducial marker procedure because It helps in reducing the number of entry points and avoiding major structures on the way. It helps in anesthetizing the track with each entry. Accurate cranio-caudal angulation is the biggest advantage

PIGA CT is used in Vijaya Diagnostics for image guided biopsy procedures. I feel that centers that do not do interventions today can start doing interventions with PIGA guidance. Probably the time saved by using PIGA can be well used by the centre for performing more diagnostic procedures. I feel that the number of cases at our centre has doubled after installing PIGA CT. To some extent PIGA CT is a good marketing tool, as now I would prefer to refer a procedure to a scan centre with PIGA CT than without

I have been using PIGA Ct since its invention. I find the device extremely user friendly and in placing needles within body under CT guidance, which warrants angular insertion both in X and Z axis.

We have started using PIGA CT, designed and developed by Perfint, in our imaging center for performing CT guided procedures. We have performed FNA/ Biopsy procedures with PIGA.

We have been using PIGA CT from Perfint in our department for performing CT guide procedure like FNA/Biopsy. PIGA is a very useful device for doing CT guided procedures and many of our PG students have also used the device for CT guided procedures. System performance and the support from Perfint has been good. Our article on  advantages of PIGA guided procedures over the conventional manual way of doing  procedure has been approved for poster display at AOCR,2008.
