    Low-dose CT-guided glycerol rhizotomy enhances precision and safety in treating trigeminal neuralgia compared to traditional fluoroscopy.

  • 2

    The study compares radiation doses from low-dose CT and fluoroscopy during foramen ovale cannulation procedures.

  • 3

    CT-guided procedures were implemented in 2019, replacing fluoroscopy, with a focus on reducing radiation exposure for patients and personnel.

  • 4

    Effective doses were calculated using specific parameters from radiation dose reports for both CT and fluoroscopy methods.

  • 5

    The modified CT-guided approach allows for continuous monitoring and precise needle placement, improving patient outcomes.
