چکیده
PURPOSE To evaluate the feasibility of a new MR compatible optical tracking guided bone biopsy system. MATERIALS AND METHODS Wireless optical tracker elements were connected to a bone biopsy set. Biopsies of five different anatomic areas and lesions varying from 9 mm to 40 mm (mean 25 mm) in size, were performed. RESULTS We were able to perform the biopsies in all cases, and the samples allowed for a pathologic diagnosis. The procedure time was limited to less than 40 minutes, and no complications occurred. CONCLUSION MR-guided bone biopsy with this new guiding system was a feasible and fast procedure that did not compromise the usability of the bone biopsy set.

Preliminary clinical experience with liver and bone biopsies guided by a robotic assistance system in a closed-bore 1.5T MR scanner
Introduction/Purpose Various concepts of guiding interventions with the help of MR imaging have been realized in the past decade. Recently, a robotic assistance system has become commercially available that allows to plan and realize the trajectories of medical instruments in a closed-bore scanner. Such a device was implemented in our conventional 1.5T MRI environment and has been clinically us...
متن کاملCT-guided biopsy of focal lesions in patients with multiple myeloma may reveal new and more aggressive cytogenetic abnormalities.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cytogenetic abnormalities, especially chromosome 13 deletion, are high-risk factors for multiple myeloma. Attaining the highest detection rates of cytogenetic abnormalities is important to provide accurate prognostic information to the referring oncologist. The purpose of this study was to use CT-guided percutaneous fine-needle aspiration bone biopsy (CT-guided FNA) of MR...

Osteosarcoma (osteogenic sarcoma: OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumor of long bones, whereas primary osteosarcoma of chest wall, especially in sternum, is extremely rare. We report a 57-year-old man with an immobile slow growing mass located in the middle of the sternum. The patient had no significant pain or tenderness and the past medical history was not remarkable. CT-scan sh...

Introduction: Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging has emerged as a valuable tool in radiation treatment (RT) planning as well as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging owing to its superior soft-tissue contrast. Due to the fact that there is no direct transformation from voxel intensity in MR images into electron density, itchr('39')s crucial to generate a pseudo-CT (Computed Tomography) image ...
متن کاملUse of real-time magnetic resonance guidance to assist bone biopsy in pediatric malignancy.
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (MRI) has the advantage of demonstrating lesions not visualized by other radiologic modalities. We present a case involving pediatric malignancy where MR-guided bone biopsy confirmed correct histologic diagnosis and was used to plan additional treatment. A 2-year, 9-month-old boy had a history of spontaneous regression of stage 4S neuroblastoma. (123)I-metaiodobe...
