    Ultrasonic-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy improves liver metastasis detection accuracy. This method offers a more precise alternative to traditional blind biopsy techniques for improved diagnostic outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Interventional Radiology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Liver metastases detection is crucial for cancer staging and treatment planning.
    • Accurate biopsy techniques are essential for definitive diagnosis and guiding therapy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the accuracy of ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy for liver metastases.
    • To compare this guided technique with the conventional Menghini biopsy method.

    Main Methods:

    • Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of liver metastases performed under direct ultrasonic scanning guidance.
    • Comparison of results with ultrasound-guided FNA and Menghini biopsy in 18 patients.

    Main Results:

    • Ultrasound-guided FNA demonstrated higher accuracy in diagnosing liver metastases compared to the blind Menghini method.
