Ultrasound Guided Percutaneous Biopsies of Suspected Mediastinal Lesions

by Sa Samad Frcr, N. A. Sharifah Dcp, M. A. Zulfiqar, M. Med (radiology, A. Maimunah, M. Med (radiology, A. Yahya Frcs, W. Zainudin Ms
"... Realtime ultrasonography with general purpose sector transducer was used to guide 87 percutaneous biopsies on 82 patients with lesions suspected to be mediastinal masses on plain chest radiographs. In seven patients who had dyspnea the biopsies were done in erect or semi-erect sitting positions. Def ..."

"... ABSTRACT Background. Surgery is the primary treatment for all subtypes of retroperitoneal liposarcoma, but neoadjuvant therapy may be warranted in cases of dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLS), which has an increased risk of recurrence and metastasis. Therefore, an accurate subtypespecific diagnosis ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
diagnosis is vital for appropriate consideration of neoadjuvant therapy. Previous studies assessing the subtype-specific accuracy of percutaneous biopsy are limited. We aimed to analyze the accuracy of preoperative percutaneous biopsy in the subtype-specific diagnosis of retroperitoneal liposarcoma and thus

Automated Percutaneous Biopsy in Postoperative Diskitis: A New Method

by Gary Onik, Yulin Shang, Joseph C. Maroon
"... Postoperative disk space infection or diskitis (POD) is a relatively uncommon but debilitating complication of disk sur-gery [1, 2], and despite the current level of knowledge, its reasonably early clinical diagnosis is still difficult to make [3, 4]. Once POD is clinically suspected and the erythro ..."

and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate is shown to be elevated, radiologic studies may not demonstrate the early changes or at least may not differentiate it from postoperative changes [1]. Although per-cutaneous fine needle aspiration biopsy sampling of the sus-pected disk space in POD has some strong advocates

-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in guidance of percutaneous biopsy in peripheral pulmonary lesions. Methods. This study focused on 53 patients (male: 38, female: 15, and mean age: 55.7 years ± 10.7) with 53 single peripheral pulmonary lesions. Before core needle (16-gauge) percutaneous biopsy, CEUS were performed in all

CT-Guided Percutaneous Biopsy of Thoracic and Lumbar Spine: A New Coaxial Technique

by Daniel Yaffe, Ghal Greenberg, Joseph Leitner, Reuven Gipstein, Myra Shapiro, Gil N. Bachar
"... lumbar or thoracic bone biopsy performed with a larger bore needle and coaxial system. The use of the external sheath cannula as a coaxial system led to an accurate diagnosis in all 19 patients who underwent the procedure. Bleeding at the biopsy site occurred in two patients and was controlled by in ..."
