    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Interventional Radiology
    • Abdominal Imaging

    Background:

    • Percutaneous needle biopsy is crucial for diagnosing intra-abdominal conditions.
    • Fine-needle biopsy is applicable to all abdominal and pelvic regions.
    • High accuracy and low patient risk are established benefits.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the value of radiologically guided percutaneous needle biopsy.
    • To discuss the trend towards larger core biopsy needles.
    • To encourage clinician utilization of this diagnostic procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • Radiologically guided percutaneous needle biopsy.
    • Evaluation of diagnostic accuracy and safety.
    • Consideration of fine-needle biopsy and larger core biopsy needles (e.g., 18-gauge Biopty).

    Main Results:

    • High accuracy rates are achieved with percutaneous needle biopsy.
    • Minimal risk is associated with the procedure.
    • Preliminary data suggest larger core biopsy needles are safe and may enhance diagnostic accuracy.

    Conclusions:

    • Radiologically guided percutaneous needle biopsy is a highly effective diagnostic tool for intra-abdominal disease.
    • The use of larger core biopsy needles shows promise for improved diagnostic yield.
    • Clinicians should confidently refer patients for this procedure.
