Stereotactic Biopsies

ABSTRACT:Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MR) and Computer Assisted Tomography (CT) guided stereotaxis combined with intraoperative impedance monitoring and multiple sequential biopsies provides the opportunity to correlate the results of radiologic imaging with impedance and histopathology. The authors present the methods used and preliminary results obtained from 30 stereotactic biopsies with complete correlation in 12 cases. Impedance changes correlate accurately with lesion margins as defined by histology. CT images of enhancing lesions correlate quite closely to the histopathologic lesion margins whereas the appearance of the lesion on MR images is often larger than subsequently identified by either impedance or at pathologic examination. Impedance monitoring is a useful adjunct to stereotactic biopsy as it helps to accurately define lesion margins and can help direct the choice of biopsy sites.

All ultrasound (US) guided needle biopsies of brain tumors performed during an 8-year period were reviewed. Tissue samples were obtained in 112 of 115 biopsy procedures, and a histologic diagnosis was established in 99 cases (88.4%). The rate of major complications was 8.0%. The mortality is similar as in reports on stereotactic and CT-guided biopsy procedures while the morbidity is higher in our material. There are no large series available on US guided intracranial biopsy with adequate reports of complications. A modified biopsy technique is introduced here using a cutting needle and an automatic sampling instrument. The modified technique, which has been used in all cases since 1985, yielded diagnostic material in 91.5%. This method consistently provides a tissue core which is essential for a confident histopathologic diagnosis.
