    Journal: Aktuelle Radiol; 1992 Jul; 2(4):230-3. PubMed ID: 1504122.
    Abstract:
    Results of 285 abdominal and pelvic CT-monitored biopsies are presented. 81.6% of the histological biopsies (n = 46) were evaluable (39.1% right positive, 43.5% right negative, 4.35% suspect). In 13% no definite findings were made. For the cytologic examinations and those due to an abscess 44.8% led to a right positive diagnosis and 23.8% gave a true negative finding. In 4.2% of the cases a suspect finding was given. 28% of all cytological evaluations were not definite. The complication rate was 1%.
