ABSTRACT

Percutaneous biopsy Over the past several decades, percutaneous image-guided biopsy has become one of the most common interventional radiological procedures. In particular, rapid advances in imaging technology, biopsy instruments and techniques have made once difficultto-reach lesions, historically requiring surgical intervention, accessible and amenable to the ambulatory setting. Furthermore, the development of novel histopathology methods with a greater sensitivity and specificity have increased diagnostic yield.
