Good day. My name is Michael Higgins and I'm

0:03

an assistant professor at Boston University School of Medicine and a

0:06

practicing Interventional radiologist. And what we're going to impact for

0:09

you today are our guided biopsies bone and

0:12

interabdominal sites. These are two areas that many procedurals

0:15

may not be as comfortable

0:18

than the more common kidney and liver

0:21

sites. But the questions are what's the differential diagnosis? What

0:24

are the situations that actually warrant a

0:27

biopsy? Why do we perceive it? A biopsy what are

0:30

some things that we want to keep in mind as we risk mitigate?

0:33

We're gonna discuss all that and more in this module

0:36

our guide to biopsies a bone

0:39

and intradominal sites for this module. The course

0:42

goal is by the end of this would like the you the

0:45

learner to understand the clinical radiologic workup

0:48

of lesions requiring osteus uninter abdominal

0:51

biopsies as well as the technical consideration needed

0:54

to successfully perform them with our guidance.

0:57

And so we have a few course objectives for both

1:00

Bone and enter abdominal section and that will then

1:03

allow us to essentially achieve this

1:06

course goal.

1:07

For both the bone and introdominal lesions,

1:10

we will review the differential diagnosis of conditions

1:13

affecting the biopsy site.

1:15

Will it review the workup and Diagnostic Imaging of lesions at

1:18

the biopsy site?

1:19

the important anatomic structures

1:22

We will then overview the procedural Imperial procedural

1:25

considerations an image guided biopsies. We'll review

1:28

a video of an IR actually performing an image

1:31

guided biopsy and then final we'll discuss a few

1:34

real world cases demonstrating diagnostic reasoning and potential

1:37

complications in image guided biopsies.
