Abstract
Ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy (CNB) is a highly effective technique for diagnosing tumoral and inflammatory/infectious diseases. The procedure provides real-time visualization of anatomical structures such as vessels and nerves, reducing complications and enhancing accuracy. Traditionally performed by interventional radiologists, CNB can also be safely and effectively conducted by another specialists, including general physicians, thanks to the widespread availability of Point-of-Care Ultrasound. This not only improves and expedites the diagnostic process but also facilitates access to minimally invasive interventions by clinical services, establishing ultrasound-guided CNB as an essential tool for general physicians.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Ultrasound is the official journal of the Italian Society for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (SIUMB). The journal publishes original contributions (research and review articles, case reports, technical reports and letters to the editor) on significant advances in clinical diagnostic, interventional and therapeutic applications, clinical techniques, the physics, engineering and technology of ultrasound in medicine and biology, and in cross-sectional diagnostic imaging. The official language of Journal of Ultrasound is English.
