Image Guided Core Needle Biopsy of Musculoskeletal Lesions: Are Nondiagnostic Results Clinically Useful?

Concordance Rate between Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy and Core Needle Biopsy in Breast Lesions

Background and Objectives:Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is one of the methods of breast biopsy which is fast, easy and cost effective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the concordance rate between pathologic results of sonography or stereotaxy guided FNAB and guided core needle biopsy (CNB) in the evaluation of breast le...

Ultrasound-guided core-needle biopsy of breast lesions

OBJECTIVE: To review the role of ultrasound-guided core-needle biopsy (CNB) in the management of breast lesions. METHODS: Review of the most relevant literature on this topic. RESULTS: This technique shows a high sensitivity value of about 97.5% and it offers many advantages over other imaging techniques to guide a biopsy: non-ionising radiation, low cost, full control of the needle in real t...

Needle Core Biopsy Should Replace Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology in Breast Lesions Diagnosis

CT-guided biopsy for musculoskeletal lesions.

The study of musculoskeletal tumors greatly improved with the use of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These studies offer excellent imaging of a lesion’s anatomical extension and a clear identification of its active part after contrast administration. However, modern imaging is essentially morphologic; its low specificity only allows for etiological diagnosis in a ...
