Precise biopsy localization by computer tomography.
The ultimate accuracy of percutaneous needle aspiration and core biopsies is directly related to localization of pathology and of the needle tip. Localization methods currently in use include fluoroscopy, ultrasound, and angiography. The authors believe that localization by computed tomography is the single most accurate method for performing biopsies.
