Image-guided musculoskeletal biopsy.

Image guidance allows safe passage of needles, often into small and otherwise inaccessible lesions, and into the portions of the lesion most likely to yield useful samples, while avoiding damage to important structures. This article hopes to provide a useful guide to image-guided musculoskeletal biopsy for radiologists in practice and in training.
