Abstract:
In the past 10 years, imaging-guided biopsy has become an accepted technique of tissue retrieval for pathologic analysis. Fluoroscopy, ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are the current methods of guiding biopsy procedures. Each modality has advantages and disadvantages for various organ systems. High accuracy rates and low complication rates can be expected. Cost savings and rapid reporting of results add to the value of these procedures.
