a case of a 3-year-old patient with osteolytic lesion in the lumbar region is presented. the clinic-radiological suspicion was infection, primary or metastatic tumor of spine. subsequently, a ct guided biopsy proved an eosinophilic granuloma of bone. following medical treatment after two month, there was improvement in patient medical status.

One of the actual problems oncology is early diagnosis breast cancer. However, there are some difficulties not only in diagnostic but also verification lesions. Image-guided cor-biopsy nowadays became gold standard for non-palpable The main issue to choose method visualization. According up-to-date recommendations, no universal with all requirements (high visualization quality, convenience, and...

BACKGROUND Like all breast imaging modalities MRI has limited specificity and the positive predictive value for lesions detected by MRI alone ranges between 15 and 50%. MRI guided procedures (needle biopsy, presurgical localisation) are mandatory for suspicious findings visible only at MRI, with potential influence on therapeutic decision. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate our...

BACKGROUND Ultrasound-guided diagnostic breast biopsy technology represents the current standard of care for the evaluation of indeterminate and suspicious lesions seen on diagnostic breast ultrasound. Yet, there remains much debate as to which particular method of ultrasound-guided diagnostic breast biopsy provides the most accurate and optimal diagnostic information. The aim of the current st...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE CT is currently the method of choice for guiding biopsy of lesions of the spine. However, in our hospital, fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous biopsy has been preferred for several years because of equipment availability and easy craniocaudal angulation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous biopsy in a clinical setting for diag...

OBJECTIVE To study the diagnostic yield of specimen obtained by percutaneous renal biopsy (PRB) under CT guidance and Ultrasound (US) guidance. METHODS This study was conducted at the department of Nephrology at Liaquat National Hospital and Dr. Ziauddin Hospital, Karachi. Renal biopsy specimens obtained between January 2007 and September 2009 were studied for number of glomeruli obtained. In...

Prior to the development of image-guided percutaneous spine biopsy techniques, an open biopsy procedure was required for definitive diagnosis. The advantage of the open biopsy procedure is twofold. First, under direct visualization, multiple and larger tissue samples can be obtained and made available for frozen histopathological analysis. Second, the open biopsy can be performed as part of a s...

OBJECTIVE To compare the diagnostic accuracy of power Doppler-guided targeted prostate biopsy and random sextant biopsy in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. METHODS The prospective study was carried out at the Allama Iqbal Medical College and Jinnah Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan, from January to December, 2012, and comprised clinically suspected cases of carcinoma prostate. Power Doppler-guided ...

Needle biopsy is an established technique for the histological diagnosis of bone tumours, usually guided by fluoroscopy or CT. Surface lesions and aggressive tumours which have extended through the cortex are also amenable to imaging with ultrasound (US). We have assessed the diagnostic accuracy of US-guided Trucut needle biopsy in a consecutive series of patients referred to a Bone Tumour Unit...
