Today, my name is Michael Higgins and I'm an assistant professor Boston

0:04

University School of Medicine Boston Medical Center and

0:07

a practicing and eventual radiologist and what we're going to

0:10

unpack today are the fundamentals of our guided biopsies. Of

0:13

course, we all know about biopsies, but what's the difference between

0:16

a fine needle aspiration and a corneal biopsy? What's the

0:19

difference is in the shape of the needle and how they impact

0:22

the biopsy in question are there patient and lesional

0:25

and specific factors that

0:28

would sort of raise the risk for infection and are there mitigation

0:31

techniques that we can use in order to lower the risk

0:34

for bleeding in those settings? We're going to discuss all

0:37

that and more in this fundamentals to our guided biopsies.

Let's get to work.
