Differences in Radiation Exposure of CT-Guided Percutaneous Manual and Powered Drill Bone Biopsy.
Apart from the commonly applied manual needle biopsy, CT-guided percutaneous biopsies of bone lesions can be performed with battery-powered drill biopsy systems. Due to assumably different radiation doses and procedural durations, the aim of this study is to examine radiation exposure and establish local diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) of CT-guided bone biopsies of different anatomical regions. ⋯ Level 3.
