Abstract:
MRI is being increasingly used for the detection of intracranial lesions. MRI-guided stereotactic brain biopsy is infrequently performed. We audited our recent experience of this procedure, and demonstrated that it is feasible and comparable to CT-guided biopsy in terms of diagnostic accuracy with a low procedural morbidity. We critically analyse its future role in the presence of more recent developments.
