To compare the diagnostic accuracy and adverse event rates of intravascular ultrasound (US)-guided transvenous biopsy (TVB) versus those of computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous needle biopsy (...
In this single-institution, retrospective study, 32 intravascular US-guided TVB procedures and a sample of 34 CT-guided PNB procedures for RP lymph nodes where targets were deemed amenable to intravas...
The targets of intravascular US-guided TVB were primarily aortocaval (47%, 15/32) or precaval (34%, 11/32), whereas those of CT-guided PNB were primarily right pericaval (44%, 15/34) or retrocaval (44...
Intravascular US-guided TVB had a diagnostic accuracy and adverse event rate similar to CT-guided PNB for RP lymph nodes, indicating that intravascular US-guided TVB may be as safe and effective as co...
In light of recent prostate cancer screening programme proposed by the European Association of Urology, there is an urgent need to optimise detection of clinically significant cancer while minimising ...
To evaluate the value of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided biopsy in endoscopy negative biopsy patients with rectal lesions....
150 endoscopy negative biopsy result rectal lesions adopted the transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy. Based on whether the patients received contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination or not before the ...
We obtained adequate specimens in the majority of cases (98.7%,148/150); There were no complications identified in our study. 126 patients received contrast-enhanced TRUS examination before biopsy to ...
TRUS-guided biopsy is a reliable procedure that can be augmented by endoscopic biopsy techniques if the biopsy yields negative results. CE-TRUS might assist in the location of the biopsy and decrease ...
The aim of this study was to com-pare the risk of International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) score upgrading between magnetic resonance imaging targeted fusion biopsy (MRI-TB) and tran-srect...
This retrospective single center study included 51 patients with prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosed with MRI-TB and 83 patients diagnosed with TRUS-B between October/2019 and July/2021. We compared the r...
The difference of the rate of upgrading between MRI-TB group and TRUS-B group was statistically significant (p = 0.007) with 42.2% of patients of TRUS-B group experiencing an upgrade in their ISUP scor...
MRI-TB is highly accurate with lower risk of PCa upgrading after RP than TRUS-B. Patients with ISUP 1 on biopsy have greater susceptibility to upgrading their ISUP score....
To determine the upgrade rate of radial scar (RS) and complex sclerosing lesions (CSL) diagnosed with percutaneous biopsy. The secondary objectives were to determine the new atypia rate after surgery ...
This single-institution retrospective study had IRB approval. All image-targeted RS and CSL diagnosed with percutaneous biopsy between 2007 and 2020 were reviewed. Patient demographics, imaging presen...
During the study period, 120 RS/CSL were diagnosed in 106 women (median age, 43.5 years; range, 23-74), and 101 lesions were analyzed. At biopsy, 91 (90.1%) lesions were not associated with another at...
We found a low upgrade rate on image-detected RS/CSL, with or without another atypia associated. Associated atypia was underdiagnosed at biopsy in almost one-third of cases. Subsequent cancer risk cou...
Our upgrade rates of RS/CSL with or without atypia diagnosed with core needle biopsy are almost as low as the ones reported with larger sampling methods. This result has particular importance in place...
•New evidence is showing lower upgrade rates of RS and CSL after surgery, leading to a more conservative management with extensive sampling using VAB or VAE. •Our study showed only one upgrade to a lo...
The current study proposes simple methods for assessing the performance of robotic devices intended for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-guided needle biopsy....
In-house made agar-based breast phantoms containing biopsy targets served as the main tool in the evaluation process of an MRI compatible positioning device comprising a needle navigator. The motion a...
The maximum error of linear motion for steps up to 10 mm was 0.1 mm. Needle navigation relative to the phantom and alignment with the various biopsy targets were performed successfully in both the lab...
The proposed methods could be valuable in the process of validating the accuracy of MRI-guided biopsy robotic devices in both laboratory and real environments....
To test the technical feasibility of an augmented reality (AR) navigation system to guide bone biopsies....
We enrolled patients subjected to percutaneous computed tomography (CT)-guided bone biopsy using a novel AR navigation system. Data from prospectively enrolled patients (AR group) were compared with d...
Eight patients (4 males) aged 58 ± 24 years (mean ± standard deviation) were enrolled in the AR group and compared with 8 controls (4 males) aged 60 ± 15 years. No complications were observed. Procedu...
This AR navigation system is safe, feasible, and effective; it can decrease radiation exposure and number of CT passes during bone biopsies without increasing duration time....
This augmented reality (AR) navigation system is a safe and feasible guidance for bone biopsies; it may ensure a decrease in the number of CT passes and patient's radiation dose....
• This AR navigation system is a safe guidance for bone biopsies. • It ensures decrease of number of CT passes and patient's radiation exposure. • Procedure duration was similar to that of standard CT...
Bone biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosis of osteomyelitis while MRI results in a radiologic diagnosis that generally precedes biopsy. This study's purpose is to examine the diagnostic yield...
Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging improves the performance of prostate cancer (PCa) diagnostics through a better selection of patients....
The aim of the study was to study the detection rate (DR) of systematic and targeted cognitive biopsies in a cohort with the previous negative systematic biopsies. A secondary objective was to describ...
We designed a prospective, single-center, and comparative study to determine the DR of systematic and targeted cognitive biopsies. The clinical and pathological characteristics of each patient were de...
A total of 111 patients with Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System lesions > 3 were included in the study. PCa was detected in 41.4% (46 of 111 patients); 42 (91.3%) were detected by systematic b...
The detection of PCa by systematic biopsy in this series was higher than 80%; hence, its routine use should not be replaced by targeted biopsy, since it continues to be the cornerstone of the diagnosi...
Diagnosing patients with radiological lung lesions, especially those suspected of having primary lung cancer, is a common and critical clinical scenario. When selecting the most suitable invasive proc...
