| Popis: |
The demand for image-guided renal biopsy has increased due to the better detection of renal lesions; however, despite modern imaging techniques many small renal tumors cannot be classified as benign because they cannot be differentiated from renal cell carcinoma. Ultrasound and computed tomography (CT)-guided kidney biopsy is a safe and accurate method in the diagnostics of renal lesions and can be helpful in the selection of new ablative and pharmaceutical forms of treatment and avoid unnecessary operations. This article describes the clinical indications for an image-guided biopsy and discusses factors which should be considered when performing a biopsy. |
