Abstract
- Percutaneous ultrasound-guided biopsies have become the standard of practice for tissue diagnosis in the abdomen and pelvis for many sites including liver, kidney, abdominal wall, and peripheral nodal stations. Additional targets may appear difficult or impossible to safely biopsy by ultrasound due to interposed bowel loops/vasculature, deep positioning, association with the bowel, or concern for poor visibility; however, by optimizing technique, it is often possible to safely and efficiently use real-time ultrasound guidance for sampling targets that normally would be considered only appropriate for CT guided or surgical/endoscopic biopsy.
