Abstract

The results obtained in 187 CT-guided biopsies using a wide lumen needle are described. Biopsies in the thorax, abdomen, retroperitoneum and in the pelvis have been evaluated. A retrospective analysis of the material has shown an accuracy of 97.8% and sensitivity of 95.8%. The total complication rate was 8%. Amongst 120 biopsies in the thorax, 6.6% developed a pneumothorax. Therapeutic drainage was carried out in fifteen patients.
