Abstract
Before starting any specific treatment of musculoskeletal disease, confirmation of the diagnosis is considered mandatory. As an alternative to surgical biopsy procedures, the diagnosis can be confirmed percutaneously in many situations. Accurate positioning of biopsy needles within bone lesions has been greatly facilitated by the improvements in imaging techniques in recent years. Biopsy guidance by multi-angle fluoroscopy, computed tomography (CT), a combination of an integrated X-ray fluoroscopy C-arm and CT and, more recently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has enabled us to obtain cytologic or histologic specimens from sites previously thought to be inaccessible using a percutaneous approach.
