1 Nov 1994 PURPOSE: To evaluate the indications for and complications, accuracy, and techniques of percutaneous adrenal biopsy performed from 1982 Technical note: CT-guided paravertebral adrenal biopsy using hydrodissection—a safe and technically easy approach. 2012 The British Institute of Radiology. An adrenal gland biopsy may be done when blood tests are abnormal. It also may be done when an ultrasound, a CT scan, or an MRI shows a problem with the To compare ipsilateral decubitus and prone patient positioning techniques for performing computed tomography (CT) guided adrenal biopsy using the ABSTRACT : Fifty-eight percutaneous needle biopsies of adrenal masses were performed in 53 patients. The technique was initially successful in 44 (83%) of 53 Normal adrenal glands in small cell lung carcinoma: CT-guided biopsy. Adrenal adenomas: relationship between histologic lipid and CT and MR findings. CT guided adrenal biopsy is usually performed for the diagnosis of indeterminate adrenal nodules or tumors. This procedure has declined in recent years due to improvements in, and validation of, non-invasive CT and MR techniques that can now diagnose benign adrenal lesions with a high degree of confidence 1, 3. 18 May 2009 Patients All adult patients undergoing image-guided adrenal biopsy from . When a follow-up CT showed the mass to have doubled in size, CT-guided biopsy has been widely accepted as an effective and safe procedure with high accuracy for diagnosis in many clinical settings [4]. We describe a technique in which the adrenal gland was biopsied using a CT-guided percutaneous paravertebral approach with the use of a hydrodissection manoeuver. Both CT and US are used with high success to biopsy adrenal lesions and many operators make use of both CT and ultrasound (with or without fusion imaging) to get the spatial resolution of CT and the temporal resolution of US (“CT is the eye, US is the hand”).
