Ultrasound-guided interventional procedures - effective method of tumor morphological verification

From 2001 to 2006, 767 ultrasound-guided interventional procedures were performed, out of them there were 43 (5,6 %) with curative intent. Multi-functional digital ultrasound scan (HP Image Point NX) with the kit of multi-frequency sensors was used for making biopsies. All interventional procedures were done using mechanical needles with 14G in diameter. Specimens for pathomorphological examination were obtained in 68,2-97,5 % of cases.
