Prospective study of the impact of liver biopsy core size on specimen adequacy and procedural complications

American Journal of Roentgenology Nov 10, 2017

Tublin ME, et al. - The impact of core gauge (18- vs 16-gauge) was evaluated on specimen adequacy and procedural complications. The researchers revealed that US-guided 18- and 16-gauge core biopsies were similarly safe.

Specimen adequacy was not significantly affected by biopsy gauge.
