Liver biopsy with guidance in scanning A preliminary report.
A method to improve the accuracy of obtaining biopsy material of a lesion detected at liver scanning is presented. The site of the lesion is determined in two orthographic projections during scintigraphy and indicated on the patient's skin. With guidance of indicator fluoroscopy in two perpendicular projections percutaneous biopsy from any part of the liver may be performed.
