Objective:To assess the feasibility of MR-guided bone biopsies.Methods::Thirty-six consecutive patients with known or suspected benign or malignant bone lesions underwent comprehensive MR imaging.A dynamic contrast-enhanced sequence followed by stationary Ti-weighted sequences were obtained and MR-guided bone biopsy of the tumor at the site with fastest enhancement was performed using an open 0.23 T MR imager.Results:All MR-guided bone biopsies samples were estimated to be sufficient by the pathologists.The biopsy specimens were diagnostic in 34 of 36 cases.Conclusion:MR-guided bone biopsies combined with dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging are feasible and safe for the diagnostic investigation of equivocal bone lesions.
