Abstract

We present an overview of approaches for bone biopsy used to minimize potential tumor seeding of adjacent soft-tissue structures and compartments. We discuss a variety of approaches related to specific anatomic parts and review pertinent anatomy. We provide important guidelines and key examples that will help readers perform percutaneous needle bone biopsy safely.
