Real-time ultrasound-guided renal biopsy is generally applied to diagnose multiple kidney diseases. A practical simulation model is desired since it is an invasive technique with higher risks of compl...
The clinical management of high-risk lesions using image-guided biopsy is challenging. This study aimed to evaluate the rates at which such lesions were upgraded to malignancy and identify possible pr...
This retrospective multicenter analysis included 1.343 patients diagnosed with high-risk lesions using an image-guided core needle or vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB). Only patients managed using an excis...
The overall upgrade rate was 20.6%, with the highest rates in the subtypes of intraductal papilloma (IP) with atypia (44.7%; 55/123), followed by atypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) (38.4%; 144/375), lo...
ADH and atypical IP showed considerable upgrade rates to malignancy, requiring surgical excision. The LN, IP without atypia, pure FEA, and RS subtypes showed lower malignancy rates when the BI-RADS ca...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of intraprocedural CT and prior PET/CT fusion imaging in improving the diagnostic yield of CT-guided transthoracic core-needle biopsy (CNB) in ...
In total, 145 subjects with lung masses suspicious for malignancy underwent image-guided transthoracic CNB. According to imaging modality the subjects were divided into two groups. PET/CT images obtai...
145 subjects underwent CNB with adequate samples, including 76 in fusion imaging group and 69 in routine group. The overall diagnostic yield and diagnostic accuracy rate were 80.3% (53/66), 82.9% (63/...
CNB with prior PET/CT fusion imaging is particularly helpful in improving diagnostic yield and accurate rate of biopsy in lung masses, especially in heterogeneous ones, thus providing greater potentia...
To determine whether the injection of haemocoagulase into the biopsy tract can reduce pneumothorax and pulmonary haemorrhage after computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous transthoracic lung biops...
A retrospective study was performed involving patients with undiagnosed pulmonary lesions scheduled for PTLB between January 2020 and March 2021. Patients were assigned to the haemocoagulase group or ...
A total of 100 patients were included, with 44 men and a mean age of 53 years old. The overall incidences of pneumothorax and pulmonary haemorrhage were 15% and 13%, respectively. The incidences of pn...
Biopsy tract haemocoagulase injection reduced the incidences of postoperative pneumothorax and pulmonary haemorrhage after PTLB....
Investigate the laboratory, imaging and procedural factors that are associated with a tumour-positive and/or NGS-feasible CT-guided sclerotic bone lesion biopsy result in cancer patients....
In total, 113 CT-guided bone biopsies performed in cancer patients by an interventional radiologist in one institution were retrospectively reviewed. Sixty-five sclerotic bone biopsies were eventually...
Seventy-four percent of biopsies were tumour-positive. NGS was feasible in 22/30 prostate cancer patients (73%). Neither laboratory blood parameters, PET/CT availability, size, nor lesion-to-cortex di...
In cancer patients with sclerotic bone disease, targeting areas of predominantly mild sclerosis in lower CT-attenuation lesions can improve tumour tissue yield and NGS feasibility....
• Areas of predominantly mild sclerosis should be preferred to areas of predominantly dense sclerosis for CT-guided bone biopsies in cancer patients. • Among sclerotic bone lesions in prostate cancer ...
To evaluate the feasibility of contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM)-guided biopsy at Hospital del Mar, a Spanish university hospital....
We retrospectively reviewed all consecutive women with a suspicious enhancing finding eligible for CEM-guided biopsy, who were prospectively enrolled in a pre-marketing clinical validation and feasibi...
A total of 66 suspicious enhancing lesions (18.0% foci, 44.0% mass, 38.0% non-mass enhancement; median size 8.5 mm) in 64 patients (median age 59 years, mostly minimal [48.4%] or mild [32.8%] backgrou...
In this first patient series, CEM-guided breast biopsy was feasible, with success and complication rates similar to those previously reported for magnetic resonance guidance....
• CEM may be used to guide biopsy of enhancing lesions through a stereotactic-based procedure combined with intravenous iodinated contrast media administration and dual-energy acquisition. • In this f...

Computed tomography (CT)-guided cutting needle biopsy (CNB) is an effective diagnostic method for lung nodules (LNs). The false-negative rate of CT-guided lung biopsy is reported to be up to 16%. This...
From January 2011 to December 2015, 96 patients with CNB-based nonspecific benign results were included in this study as the training group to detect predictors of true-negative results. From January ...
In the training group, a total of 96 patients underwent CT-guided CNB for 96 LNs. The CNB-based results were true negatives for 82 LNs and false negatives for 14 LNs. The negative predictive value of ...
Most of the CNB-based benign results were true negatives, and CNB-based granulomatous inflammation could be considered a predictor of true-negative results....
Traditionally, testicular biopsy is performed using an open surgical approach. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsy is a less invasive alternative and can be performed in children....
The aim of this study is to report our technique and to assess the diagnostic accuracy and safety of ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsy of testicular masses in children....
This is a 16-year retrospective review of ultrasound-guided percutaneous testicular biopsies at a single pediatric hospital....
We performed nine ultrasound-guided testicular biopsies in 9 patients (median age: 3 years, range: 4 months-11 years; median weight: 20.9 kg, range: 8.4-35 kg; median volume of testicular lesion biops...
Ultrasound-guided testicular biopsy can be performed safely in children as an alternative to open surgical biopsy, with a high diagnostic yield and low complication rate....
