Radiologists are an integral part of a multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach to patient care in obtaining tissue for both pathologic diagnosis and advanced genetic/molecular testing. By utilizing image guidance, radiologists can target bone lesions with a very low complication rate. This review will discuss our approach to image-guided biopsies of bone lesions. Radiologists should be familiar with patient selection and imaging workup prior to performing biopsies, as well as the importance of coordinating the biopsy approach and sampling with the patient's clinical team. Management of bleeding and thrombotic risk in patients undergoing bone biopsies is also an important preprocedural consideration and will be discussed. The majority of bone biopsies are performed utilizing moderate sedation for patient analgesia and comfort, but close attention should be paid to patient comorbidities and potential interacting medications. Although computed tomography guidance remains the mainstay of image-guided biopsy, there are some circumstances in which ultrasound or fluoroscopic guidance may be beneficial. New advances in powered drill technology have made tissue sampling of bone lesions particularly sclerotic bone lesions both safer and faster with increased tissue yield. Finally, we will discuss image-guided biopsy of difficult anatomic regions that require special techniques to yield tissue safely.</p>","PeriodicalId":48689,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Interventional Radiology","volume":"41 5","pages":"444-454"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11631373/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142814784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
