ABSTRACT: Utilizing radiologic C-arm control, percutaneous needle biopsy of the spine may be performed safely at the T11 through L5 levels. Its main advantage is the avoidance of performing an open surgical biopsy; however, it is an exacting technique and, even when done properly, the procedure may result in nondiagnostic tissue.

Postgraduate Medicine, 1961
If properly performed, needle biopsy is a useful diagnostic procedure which often is more advantageous than other biopsy methods. It is safe, expeditious and inexpensive. Needle biopsy consists of (1) aspiration of bits of tissue or of a core of tissue through the needle into the syringe or (2) cutting of a core of tissue which is withdrawn with the ...

JCR: Journal of Clinical Rheumatology, 1997
We review our experience with needle muscle biopsy, including technique, results, complications, and outcome. We have collected data from 40 consecutive patients undergoing needle muscle biopsy of the quadriceps muscle. All biopsies were performed by the same operator and 98% were performed in the outpatient clinic. Specimens were sent to pathology for

It is often extremely difficult to ascertain the nature of a lesion in the peripheral portion of the pulmonary parenchyma. Roentgenographic evidence of the presence of a region of increased density within a lung is always an indication for additional diagnostic procedures.

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1984
A review of 52 consecutive needle biopsies of the mediastinum is presented. The aspirated material yielded cytologic and/or histologic diagnosis in 50 needle biopsies; two needle biopsies failed to yield adequate cellular material for diagnosis. All but two of the 50 patients had confirmation of the biopsy diagnosis by surgical, autopsy, or clinical ...

To the Editor.— Drs. Immergut and Plotkin (211:827, 1970) are to be commended for their courage and candor in reporting their renal biopsy complication. I agree with their conclusion that renal arteriography should be done promptly when faced with postbiopsy bleeding. However, I must take issue with their statement that renal biopsy under fluoroscopic

CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology, 1991
Percutaneous biopsy is the radiologist's most frequently performed interventional procedure. Its success is due to a number of factors, including rapid advancements in biopsy needle technology which have allowed interventionalists to improve upon the efficacy, safety, and accuracy of the procedure.

Needle Aspiration and Needle Biopsy Procedures
Urologic Clinics of North America, 1987Needle biopsy of the prostate, employing large "core" needles and performed via the transperineal or transrectal routes, is a well-established method for diagnosing prostatic malignancy. This procedure can be performed safely under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting.

Needle aspiration and needle biopsy of the thyroid
World Journal of Surgery, 1978AbstractA definitive preoperative diagnosis is not readily available for the majority of patients with an enlarging thyroid gland or nodule, but thyroid needle biopsy yields an immediate, safe, and accurate histopathologic diagnosis. In a review of 460 patients having thyroid needle biopsy at the Cleveland Clinic from 1967 to 1976, sufficient biopsy ...

I reviewed the results of 143 Cope needle biopsies in 121 patients. Diagnostic biopsies were obtained in 26 patients. Two patients with rheumatoid pleuritis had suggestive pleural fluid. Seventeen of the 19 patients with malignancy had diagnostic pleural fluid cytology.
