Multiinstitutional computer database for recording nonvascular imaging-guided interventions.
OBJECTIVE
We sought to describe a multiinstitutional database created for tracking CT and sonographically guided interventional procedures.


CONCLUSIONS
The database, created using commercially available software, has been placed on the secure hospital internal network for easy access from two institutions. More than 1,000 separate interventions have been added. The data may be queried and filtered for quality assurance and research purposes.
