title: CT-guided biopsy of bone: a radiologist's perspective.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We present an overview of approaches for bone biopsy used to minimize potential tumor seeding of adjacent soft-tissue structures and compartments. We discuss a variety of approaches related to specific anatomic parts and review pertinent anatomy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We provide important guidelines and key examples that will help readers perform percutaneous needle bone biopsy safely.
