Evaluation of imaging-guided core biopsy of pelvic masses.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and complications of imaging-guided core biopsy in the diagnosis of pelvic masses.


CONCLUSIONS
Imaging-guided core biopsy of pelvic masses is accurate and safe. The accuracy and sensitivity of biopsy under sonographic guidance are higher than those of CT-guided biopsy, although the difference is not statistically significant.
