An 11-year-old girl was brought with complaints of recurrent massive hemoptysis. A computerized tomography (CT) of the chest showed ground glass opacities on the right lower lobe, and a CT angiography...
Prostate cancer (PCa) is a major public health issue, as the second most common cancer and the fifth leading cause of cancer-related deaths among men. Many PCa cases are indolent and pose minimal risk...
Our study aims to determine whether there are differences in the degree of detection of prostate cancer (PCa) and CsPCa between fusion prostate biopsy (FPB), cognitive biopsy (PCB), and randomized, sy...
A retrospective analysis was carried out of 195 patients with suspected PCa at the San Cecilio University Clinical Hospital in Granada who underwent a prostate biopsy between January and December 2021...
We found differences in favor of image-directed biopsies (FPB and PCB) with a percentage of positive biopsies of 52.8% and 50%, respectively, compared to 41.4% with SB, but without these differences b...
With the results obtained in our series, we conclude that the finding of a PI-RADS 3 lesion in mpMRI should not be an absolute criterion to indicate prostate biopsy. On the other hand, for PI-RADS 4 a...
It is generally recommended to refrain from taking rectal biopsies in radioproctopathy. Herein we describe the clinical characteristics of urorectal fistulas after such biopsies in five patients. Cons...
Breast Screen Australia and Breast Screen Aotearoa guidelines recommend breast biopsy marker (BBM) use in indicated patients. This study aims to evaluate breast biopsy practice and BBM utilisation by ...
An online survey was disseminated to radiologists who identified 'breast imaging' as their area of practice in the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR) customer relationsh...
Most respondents (72%) place between 1 and 4 BBMs per week. Almost all (99%) respondents perform ultrasound-guided biopsy of the breast or axillary nodes, with 85% performing stereotactic or tomosynth...
Almost all radiologists perform breast biopsy using ultrasound, stereotactic/tomosynthesis or MRI guidance. BBM utilisation varies by modality, with 72% of respondents placing between 1 and 4 clips pe...
Hirschsprung disease is one of the most common congenital anomalies that affect colorectal function. Rectal biopsy demonstrating the absence of ganglion cells in the affected bowel is the gold standar...
We conducted a retrospective review of suction and incisional rectal biopsies for inadequacy per procedure at a tertiary pediatric hospital. Each procedure for rectal biopsy was also evaluated by a nu...
133 rectal suction biopsy procedures (227 biopsies) and 125 incisional biopsy procedures (140 biopsies) were analyzed. In patients 6 months of age and older, the percentage of inadequate procedures wa...
A substantially higher proportion of inadequacy was found in the suction rectal biopsy group compared to the incisional cohort among the older patient cohort, suggesting incisional biopsies should be ...
Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging improves the performance of prostate cancer (PCa) diagnostics through a better selection of patients....
The aim of the study was to study the detection rate (DR) of systematic and targeted cognitive biopsies in a cohort with the previous negative systematic biopsies. A secondary objective was to describ...
We designed a prospective, single-center, and comparative study to determine the DR of systematic and targeted cognitive biopsies. The clinical and pathological characteristics of each patient were de...
A total of 111 patients with Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System lesions > 3 were included in the study. PCa was detected in 41.4% (46 of 111 patients); 42 (91.3%) were detected by systematic b...
The detection of PCa by systematic biopsy in this series was higher than 80%; hence, its routine use should not be replaced by targeted biopsy, since it continues to be the cornerstone of the diagnosi...
Complications and diagnostic efficiency for liver biopsy are main concerns for clinicians. This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of transjugular liver biopsy (TJLB) compared with percutan...
The clinical and pathological data of patients who received TJLB or PLB between January 2012 and October 2022 were collected. Matching factors included age, gender, cirrhosis, portal hypertension, liv...
2711 PLBs and 30 TJLBs were evaluated. By PSM, 75 patients (50 PLBs, 25 TJLBs) were matched. The complication rates for TJLB and PLB were 4.0% (1/25) and 10.0% (5/50) (P > 0.05). Two PLBs had hepatic ...
TJLB is an effective invasive diagnostic procedure that expands indications for liver biopsy with reliable diagnostic quality....
The precise diagnosis of prostate cancer (PC) is crucial to avoid underdiagnosis, overdiagnosis, and overtreatment. We aimed to compare clinically significant PC (csPC) detection between MRI/ultrasoun...
We included patients with suspect PC due to elevated PSA level or abnormal digital rectal examination, or both. csPC was defined as International Society Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade group ≥2 (cs...
This study included 143 patients. Overall PC detection was 66.4% for SBx and 67.8% for MRI-TBx. MRI-TBx presented a significantly higher rate of csPC detection (csPC-A 67.1% vs. 58.7%, p = 0.04, and c...
MRI-TBx significantly outperformed 12-cores SBx for csPC detection and decreased non-csPC detection in biopsy-naive men. Performing MRI-TBx without SBx would have missed some csPC, supporting that MRI...
We aimed to develop and compare strategies that help optimize current prostate biopsy practice by identifying patients who may forgo concurrent systematic biopsy (SBx) in favor of MRI-targeted (TBx) a...
Retrospective study on 745 patients who underwent combined MRI-TBx plus SBx. Primary outcome was the upgrade to clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa; grade group ≥ 2) on SBx versus MRI-TBx. V...
SBx detected 47 (6%) additional men with csPCa. The risk of detecting csPCa uniquely on SBx was significantly lower in men with PI-RADS 5 (versus PI-RADS 3: OR 0.30, p = 0.03; versus PI-RADS 4: OR 0.3...
Not all men benefit equally from the combination of SBx and MRI-TBx. SBx avoidance in men with PI-RADS 5 and/or previous negative biopsy may reduce the risk of excess biopsies with a low risk of missi...
• In men undergoing MRI-targeted biopsy, the risk of detecting clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) only on additional systematic biopsy (SBx) decreased in men with PI-RADS 5, previous negat...
