When performing image-guided biopsies of bone neoplasms, ultrasound and CT yield comparable results according to research from the Henry Ford Health System.
Summarized in an article on Auntminnie.com, ultrasound once again proves its value as an effective and efficient imaging modality. In a retrospective study of 100 patients, both CT and ultrasound guided biopsies had an overall efficiency of 87.9%.
With no radiation and lower cost, ultrasound is rapidly becoming a preferred imaging modality for image-guided biopsies.
