Abstract
Image-guided bone biopsies have become indispensable in the diagnosis of a wide range of diseases, from incidental suspicious lesions to the evaluation of treatment response and the staging of malignancies. The aim of this evaluation of the prospectively managed voluntary multinational registry of the German Society for Interventional Radiology and Minimally Invasive Therapy (DeGIR) was to analyze the use, technical success, and complications of image-guided diagnostic biopsies of bone lesions.All bone biopsies reported in the DeGIR registry between 2018 and 2022 were included. Technical success was defined as the successful image-guided placement of the sampling device within the bone lesion. Technical success and complication rates were compared across various parameters by Fisher's exact and chi-square test. p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.A total of 17397 diagnostic punctures (female: 52% (9046/17397), outpatient procedures: 34% (5924/17397), median age: 64y (IQR 51-75y)) from 214 centers in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland were analyzed. The technical success rate was 98.9% (17201/17397), with histological representativeness in 93.2% of cases (10316/11071). Outpatient procedures had a higher technical success rate (99.3%, 5884/5924) compared to inpatient procedures (98.6%, 11316/11473, p<0.0001), but lower histological representativeness (91.1%, 1284/1410 vs. 93.5%, 9031/9661, p=0.001). The overall complication rate was 0.62% (108/17397), with major complications being predominantly parenchymal bleeding. Solid or subsolid lesions had higher histological representativeness (94.0%, 7846/8346) compared to necrotic-cystic lesions (90.3%, 1558/1725, p<0.0001).Image-guided bone biopsies are highly effective and safe. The high technical success rates and low complication rates underscore their clinical utility.

期刊介绍:
Die RöFo veröffentlicht Originalarbeiten, Übersichtsartikel und Fallberichte aus dem Bereich der Radiologie und den weiteren bildgebenden Verfahren in der Medizin. Es dürfen nur Arbeiten eingereicht werden, die noch nicht veröffentlicht sind und die auch nicht gleichzeitig einer anderen Zeitschrift zur Veröffentlichung angeboten wurden. Alle eingereichten Beiträge unterliegen einer sorgfältigen fachlichen Begutachtung.
Gegründet 1896 – nur knapp 1 Jahr nach der Entdeckung der Röntgenstrahlen durch C.W. Röntgen – blickt die RöFo auf über 100 Jahre Erfahrung als wichtigstes Publikationsmedium in der deutschsprachigen Radiologie zurück. Sie ist damit die älteste radiologische Fachzeitschrift und schafft es erfolgreich, lange Kontinuität mit dem Anspruch an wissenschaftliches Publizieren auf internationalem Niveau zu verbinden. Durch ihren zentralen Platz im Verlagsprogramm stellte die RöFo die Basis für das heute umfassende und erfolgreiche Radiologie-Medienangebot im Georg Thieme Verlag.
Besonders eng verbunden ist die RöFo mit der Geschichte der Röntgengesellschaften in Deutschland und Österreich. Sie ist offizielles Organ von DRG und ÖRG und die Mitglieder der Fachgesellschaften erhalten die Zeitschrift im Rahmen ihrer Mitgliedschaft. Mit ihrem wissenschaftlichen Kernteil und dem eigenen Mitteilungsteil der Fachgesellschaften bietet die RöFo Monat für Monat ein Forum für den Austausch von Inhalten und Botschaften der radiologischen Community im deutschsprachigen Raum.
