Abstract

Preprocedural magnetic resonance images (MRI) are used to identify the target lesion for a bone biopsy procedure, but are not typically used in the interventional suite to guide the biopsy needle. Additionally, MRI has the advantage of being able to visualize lesions, such as bone marrow abnormalities with an intact cortex that cannot be readily seen with computed tomography (CT) or C-arm CT, the modalities commonly used for biopsies. Therefore we present a pilot study to evaluate the application of syngo iGuide needle guidance and syngo InSpace 3D/3D Fusion (Siemens Healthcare AG, Forchheim, Germany) using preprocedural MRI and intraprocedural C-arm CT for bone biopsies in the pediatric population.
