Abstract
Objective To demonstrate the feasibility and accuracy of the intellectual position(IP)technique used in ultrasound-guided biopsy.Methods Several red spheres,which were 10 mm in diameter and visible in ultrasound,randomly placed in the tissue mimicking gel phantom.The biopsy was performed by two operators respectively.Each operator chose 25 spheres,each of which were performed biopsy guided by IP technique,free-hand ultrasound and ultrasound with guide bracket.The red dye in the biopsied sample meant successful performance.The time spend in per biopsy target,the success rate of biopsy and the length of the red dyed sample of the three methods were recorded,and comparison was made among them.Results The median time took in biopsy guided by IP technique was 95(rang,80-110)s,which was longer than that of free-hand ultrasound-guide[30 (rang,22-42) s,P <0.001] and ultrasound-guide with bracket [20(rang,15-28)s,P <0.001].The success rate of biopsy guided by IP technique was 98.0% (49/50)which was as well as that guided by ultrasound-guide with bracket(96.0%,48/50,P =0.558),better than free-hand ultrasound-guide(78.0%,39/50,P =0.002).The median length of red dyed sample biopsied guided by IP technique was 8.0 (rang,7.0-8.5)mm,which was longer than that of free-hand ultrasoundguide[6.0(rang,4.0-8.0)mm,P =0.003] and ultrasound-guide with bracket[7.0(rang,6.0-8.0)mm,P =0.003].There was no statistically difference between the two operators in length of red dyed sample and success rate of biopsy guided by IP technique(P >0.05).Conclusions Biopsy guided by IP technique is a feasible and accuracy method,which will become an effectively supplement of the ultrasound-guide with bracket.
