    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Percutaneous aspiration and biopsy of abdominal masses are common procedures. Fluoroscopy, ultrasound, and CT scanning offer guidance for abdominal punctures, with specialized expertise becoming increasingly important.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Interventional Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Percutaneous aspiration and biopsy of abdominal masses are increasingly frequent procedures.
    • Various imaging modalities are employed to guide these interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the techniques and imaging guidance for percutaneous abdominal mass aspiration and biopsy.
    • To highlight the evolving role of different imaging modalities in these procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of percutaneous puncture techniques under fluoroscopic control.
    • Discussion of ultrasound-guided punctures for non-radiographically visible masses or unusual approaches.
    • Emphasis on CT scanning for guiding punctures of bone lesions and small structures.

    Main Results:

    • Fluoroscopic guidance is the simplest technique, allowing contrast insertion for cyst wall outlining.
    • Ultrasound is valuable when masses are not visible on radiographs or require atypical access.
    • CT scanning is preferred for bone lesions and certain small anatomical targets.

    Conclusions:

    • The increasing frequency and complexity of percutaneous abdominal procedures necessitate specialized expertise.
    • A need for dedicated abdominal-puncture experts is anticipated in the near future.
