Strategies for Biopsy of Musculoskeletal Tumors

Percutaneous biopsy has proven to be an effective and accurate method of obtaining histologic specimens for the diagnosis of both osseous and soft tissue lesions. When combined with image guidance, percutaneous biopsy can provide a precise noninvasive method to establish the definitive diagnosis in a non-invasive manner. Each bone and soft tissue lesion has a unique set of characteristics and when performing image guided percutaneous biopsy there are many variables to be considered to assure the right type of procedure is performed for each unique lesion.
