Ultrasound-guided biopsy.

S Smith

    The Veterinary Clinics of North America. Small Animal Practice
    |November 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Ultrasound-guided biopsy is a feasible technique for canine liver and kidney biopsies, yielding adequate samples with Vim-Silverman and Tru Cut methods. This noninvasive approach offers advantages over traditional blind biopsies.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Ultrasound-guided biopsy is a minimally invasive diagnostic technique.
    • Percutaneous biopsy methods in veterinary medicine often lack direct visualization.
    • Assessing the feasibility of ultrasound-guided biopsy in canine liver and kidney procedures is warranted.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of ultrasound-guided biopsy in canine liver and kidney.
    • To compare sample adequacy from different biopsy instruments.

    Main Methods:

    • Ultrasound-guided liver and kidney biopsies were performed in dogs.
    • Franklin modified Vim-Silverman and Tru Cut biopsy needles were utilized.
    • Fine-needle biopsies were also assessed for sample quality and quantity.

    Main Results:

    • Ultrasound-guided biopsy with Vim-Silverman and Tru Cut needles yielded adequate samples from canine liver and kidney.
    • Fine-needle biopsies of the liver provided adequate cellular material but were insufficient for structural evaluation.
    • Renal fine-needle biopsies were of poor quality and quantity.

    Conclusions:

    • Ultrasound-guided biopsy is a feasible and advantageous technique for canine liver and kidney sampling.
    • Vim-Silverman and Tru Cut needles are suitable for ultrasound-guided biopsy in these organs.
    • The technique offers benefits including noninvasiveness, speed, ease of use, and avoidance of ionizing radiation.
