Abstract
The authors designed and constructed a simple needle holder device for maintaining the position of the trocar and cannula before performance of computed tomography (CT)- and ultrasonography-guided biopsies with a biopsy gun. The holder can be removed before attachment of the biopsy gun and routine obtaining of tissue. Use of the holder facilitated quicker and easier CT-guided biopsies of the liver (n = 3), pancreas (n = 1), and adrenal gland (n = 1) and of a chest wall tumor.
