Diagnostic yield of fluoroscopy-guided biopsy for infectious spondylitis

by B J Kim , J W Lee , S J Kim , G Y Lee , H S Kang - AJNR Amer. J. Neuroradiol , 2013
"... ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: CT is currently the method of choice for guiding biopsy of lesions of the spine. However, in our hospital, fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous biopsy has been preferred for several years because of equipment availability and easy craniocaudal angulation. The aim of this ..."

fine-needle aspiration biopsy in renal allograft dysfunction

by Jose M. Gonzalez-posada, Maria C. Garcia-castro, Lourdes P. Tamajon, O Torres, Domingo Hern, Manuel Losada, Benito Maceira, Eduardo Salido
"... Background. Percutaneous biopsy is the method of choice for differential diagnosis of renal allograft dys-function, although it is not risk-free. The use of less aggressive methods for diagnosis should limit the need for percutaneous biopsy to some specific situations. Methods. We analysed 42 fine-n ..."

REVIEW ARTICLE Biopsy of renal masses: when and why

by V. Anik Sahni, Stuart G. Silverman , 2009
"... Percutaneous image-guided biopsy of renal masses is a safe and accurate procedure. Although once reserved for the diagnosis of unresectable renal cell carcinoma, metastases, lymphoma, and infection, today percutaneous image-guided biopsy has an expanded role. There is increasing awareness that a sub ..."

Diagnostic Value of Biopsy Techniques in Lumbar Spondylodiscitis: Percutaneous Needle Biopsy and Open Biopsy

by Kyoung Hyup Nam, Geun Sung Song, In Ho Han, Byung Kwan Choi, Seung Heon Cha
"... Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the diagnostic value of the open biopsy technique and the percutaneous biopsy techniques in lumbar spondylodiscitis. Methods: Between January 2004 and December 2009, we retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 57 patients with ..."

Ultrasound-Guided Biopsies of the Abdomen

by MD Nadia Juliet Khati , MD Joseph Gorodenker , MB Michael C Hill
"... Abstract: Ultrasound is the most useful imaging technique for guiding biopsies and fine-needle aspirations that are performed percutaneously. It is a safe and accurate method to guide needles using real-time imaging into abdominal and pelvic organs and masses. Its advantages over computed tomograph ..."

ORIGINAL ARTICLE Percutaneous Transpedicular Biopsy of the Spine

by unknown authors
"... An open biopsy has minimal sampling error, but is a major procedure, with its inherent complications and morbidity. The complications of paraspinal needle biopsy of vertebral lesions are well known. Needle biopsies have a high incidence of false negatives, especially for tumors. Percutaneous transpe ..."

Clinical relevance of transjugular liver biopsy in comparison with percutaneous and laparoscopic liver biopsy

by Max G Beckmann , Matthias J Bahr , Johannes Hadem , Martin Bredt , Heiner Wedemeyer , Andrea S Schneider , Stefan Kubicka , Michael P Manns , Christian P Strassburg , Jochen Wedemeyer , 2009
"... Recommended by Bob Grover Background. Transjugular liver biopsy (TJLB) is frequently used to obtain liver specimens in high-risk patients. However, TJLB sample size possibly limits their clinical relevance. Methods. 102 patients that underwent TJLB were included. Clinical parameters and outcome of ..."

of TJLB were analyzed. Control samples consisted of 112 minilaparoscopic liver biopsies (mLLBs) and 100 percutaneous liver biopsies (PLBs). Results. Fewer portal tracts were detected in TJLB (4.3 ± 0.3) in comparison with PLB (11.7 ± 0.5) and mLLB (11.0 ± 0.6). No difference regarding the specification
