Differences in Radiation Exposure of CT-Guided Percutaneous Manual and Powered Drill Bone Biopsy

ConclusionUse of powered drill bone biopsy systems for CT-guided percutaneous bone biopsies can significantly reduce the radiation burden compared to manual biopsy for specific anatomical locations such as ilium and sacrum and does not increase radiation dose or procedural duration for any of the investigated locations.Level of EvidenceLevel 3.
