Abstract

Image-guided biopsy is a safe and well-established technique that is familiar to most interventional radiologists. Improvements in image guidance, biopsy tools, and biopsy techniques now routinely allow for safe biopsy of renal and adrenal lesions that traditionally were considered difficult to reach or technically challenging. Image-guided biopsy is used to establish the definitive tissue diagnosis in adrenal mass lesions that cannot be fully characterized with imaging or laboratory tests alone. It is also used to establish definitive diagnosis in some cases of renal parenchymal disease and has an expanding role in diagnosis and characterization of renal masses before treatment. Although basic principles and techniques for image-guided needle biopsy are similar regardless of organ, this paper highlights some technical considerations, indications, and complications that are unique to the adrenal gland and kidney because of their anatomic location and physiological features.

  • Most frequent complications of adrenal biopsy are pneumothorax and hemorrhage.

    “The most frequent complications are pneumothorax (due to the proximity of the adrenal gland to the diaphragm) and hemorrhage.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
