In pediatric CT-guided interventions specific features have to be taken into account. Due to a lack of cooperation or limited ability to cooperate, procedures are often performed using analgosedation or general anesthesia. To provide radiation protection, justified indication for CT-guided intervention is necessary and sonography and MRI are to be preferred whenever possible. CT examinations also need to be dose-adapted with sequential scanning and a tube voltage and tube current reduction compared to pediatric diagnostic CT studies must be ensured. Gonad shields are recommended for male patients. Biopsy device selection depends on the assumed tumor entity since histology and also immunohistochemical, molecular pathological and cytogenetical analysis are necessary to differentiate pediatric tumors (small, round, blue cell tumors). In addition to diagnostic procedures, therapeutic interventions (drainage, injection therapies, neurolysis, and radiofrequency ablation) can also be used in children and can provide an alternative to surgery in selected cases. With justified indications and precise performance, CT-guided interventions can be successful in pediatric patients with limited risks.
