Abstract

Biopsy has become a cornerstone of modern medicine and most modern biopsies are performed percutaneously using image guidance, typically computed tomography or ultrasound. MR‐guided biopsy offers many advantages over these more traditional modalities, and the recent development of interventional MR imaging techniques has made MR‐guided percutaneous biopsies and aspirations a clinical reality. As the field of MR‐guided procedures continues to expand and to attract more attention from radiologists, it is important to understand the concepts, techniques, applications, advantages, and limitations of MR‐guided biopsy/percutaneous procedures. Radiologists should also recognize the need for their significant involvement in the technical aspects of MR‐guided procedures, since several user‐defined parameters can alter device visualization in the MR imaging environment and affect procedure safety. This article reviews the prerequisites, systems, and applications of MR‐guided biopsy. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2008;27:311–325. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
