Abstract:
Intervention is a main part of musculoskeletal radiology. Image guided biopsy is a major skill that each interventional radiologist should master. Interventional therapeutic procedures particularly ablations have been increasingly recognized as an essential therapeutic option for treatment of soft tissue tumors both benign and malignant. Ablation can be used on its own or in conjunction with other therapeutic options such as surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy. In this article, we provide a practical approach to some of these interventional procedures with particular focus on tips that we find useful in our daily practice.
