본 연구는 3차원 입체정위 유방생검술의 정확도를 알아보고, 심부침생검을 이용하여 Stereotactic biopsy과 Sonoguided biopsy의 정확도와 정밀도를 평가하고자 한다. Stereotactic QC phantom을 이용하여 실제 5개의 target 위치로 3D sterotactic machine의 정확도를 측정하고, CT장비로 Scan하여 실측을 구해 X, Y, Z의 길이의 정밀도를 비교한다. 유방조직과 유사하게 제작한 Agar power phantom을 이용하여 5개의 각기 다른 needle tip Target을 통해 3D sterotactic machine과 2D ultrasound machine의 정확도를 비교하고, Z축을 장비별로 실측하여 정밀도와 신뢰도를 비교하며, 6개의 모조병소 Target을 심어놓은 Medical application phantom으로 표적하여 육안검사와 Specimen검사를 통해 정확도를 확인하였다. Stereotactic QC phantom으로 측정한 3D sterotactic machine의 정확도는 100%였으며, CT와 비교한 정밀도는 X, Y, Z축이 모두 p>0.05로 나타났다. Agar powder phantom으로 측정한 두 장비의 정확도는 100%의 정확도를 보였으며, CT와 두 장비 사이에는 p > 0.05로 차이가 없었다. 그러나 2명의 방사선사가 측정한 신뢰도분석에서 3D sterotactic machine은 ICC가 0.954였고, 2D ultrasound machine은 0.785로 2D ultrasound machine이 술자에 따라 차이가 있었다. Medical application phantom의 실험에서 3D sterotactic machine은 Sliced boneless ham을, 2D ultrasound machine은 small chalk powder group를 찾을 수 없었다. Phantom을 이용한 3차원 입체정위 유방생검술의 정확성은 우수하게 나타났고, 인체조직과 비슷한 Agar powder phantom과 유방 조직과 비슷한 Medical application phantom을 이용하여 Stereotactic biopsy과 Sonoguided biopsy의 정확도와 정밀도 모두 우수하게 나타났다. 또한 Medical application phantom의 심부침생검의 정확성 평가에서 각 검사에 따라 생검 표본이 병소의 형태에 따라 상이하게 채취되었고, 3차원 입체정위 유방생검술의 재현성이 유방 초음파검사보다 술자의 영향없이 우수하였다.

Objective : This study was undertaken to evaluate the benefits and risks of the stereotactic biopsy in brain lesions. We assessed the diagnostic accuracy and morbidity rate associated with the stereotactic biopsy. Methods : The authors present a review of 47 patients, who underwent stereotactic biopsy using Cosman-Roberts-Wells(CRW) stereotactic apparatus during last six years. Results : Target locations were supratentorial in 36 cases, infratentorial in 9 and multiple in 2. According to pathological diagnosis, the largest group was neoplasm(29) followed by infection(9), infarction(2), cyst(2), and non-specific(5). Definitive diagnosis could be made in 42 of 47 cases(89.4%). When the mass lesion had been suspected as neoplastic condition, the diagnostic rate was 96.7%(29/30). It was being much higher than that of non-neoplastic lesion, 76.5%(13/17). The treatment modality was changed in 15 cases(32%) because the result of stereotactic biopsy was different from clinical diagnosis. Subsequent craniotomy after stereotactic biopsy was then performed in 6 cases, and the pathological diagnoses were precisely coincident in all of these cases. There were two complications(4.3%) : One intratumoral hemorrhage in glioblastoma and a transient hemiparesis in benign astrocytoma. There was no mortality in this series. Conclusion : The precise histological verification is crucial to determine the adequate treatment modality in intracranial lesions. Stereotactic biopsy is a safe and accurate diagnostic procedure for intracranial lesions with a low complication rate.

Objective : To obtain more reliable sample in stereotactic biopsy, authors adopted proton chemical shift imaging ($^1H$-CSI)-directed biopsy. Until now, proton single voxel spectroscopy($^1H$-SVS) technique has been reported as a technique using metabolic information in stereotactic biopsy. The authors performed $^1H$-CSI with a stereotactic headframe in place and evaluated the pathologic results obtained from local metabolic information through $^1H$-CSI. Methods : $^1H$ CSI-directed stereotactic biopsy was performed in four patients. $^1H$-CSI and conventional Gd-enhancement stereotactic MRI was done simultaneously after application of the stereotatic frame. After reconstruction of metabolic maps of NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr, and Lactate/Cr ratios, the focal areas of increased Cho/Cr ratios and decreased NAA/Cr ratios were selected for target sites in the MR images Results : There was no difficulty in performing $^1H$-CSI with the stereotactic headframe in place. In pathologic examinations, the samples taken in area of increased Cho/Cr ratios and decreased NAA/Cr ratios showed the features of increased cellularity, mitoses and cellular atypism, thus facilitated the diagnosis. The pathologic samples taken from the area of increased Lactate/Cr ratios showed prominent feature of necrosis. Conclusion : $^1H$-CSI was feasible with stereotactic head frame in place. The final pathologic results obtained in our samples were concordant with the local metabolic informations from $^1H$-CSI. Authors believe that $^1H$ CSI-directed stereotactic biopsy may provide us advantages in obtaining more reliable tissue specimen in stereotactic biopsy.

Purpose: To prove feasibility of proton chemical shift imaging (lH CSI) during stereotactic procedure, authors performed IH CSI in combination with a stereotactic headframe and selected targets according to local metabolic information, evaluated the pathologic results. Methods: The 1H CSI directed stereotactic biopsy was performed in five patients. 1H CSI was performed before conventional stereotactic MRI with gadolinium enhancement for stereotactic coordinates. The metabolite images expressed as integral ratios, Cho/Cr and Lac/Cr, were displayed in different colors. The stereotactic target coordinates were correlated with the coordinates from the 1H CSI images. Results: The final pathologic results obtained were concordant with the local metabolic information from 1H CSI. We believe that 1H CSI-directed stereotatic biopsy has the potential to significantly improve the accuracy of stereotactic biopsy targeting. Conclusions : Metabolic signals derived from 1H CSI could give us more direct clues for stereotactic target selection during the subsequent conventional stereotactic MR imaging. 1H CSI was feasible with the stereotatic headframe in place. The final pathologic results obtained were concordant with the local metabolic information from 1H CSI.

뇌 신경계에 발생한 비정상조직 등 병소들을 수술적 방법으로 생체 조직검사 시 방사선 영상 공간과 실제 물리적 공간을 3 차원적으로 일치시키고 국재(localization)하는 영상지원 뇌 정위 수술은 혹시 발생할지도 모르는 후유증을 최소화할 수 있다. 본 연구는 대부분 고가의 대형 정위 수술 프로그램에 포함되어 있는 뇌수술을 영상 지원하는 정위적 국재 프로그램들 중 임상에서 수술 빈도가 높은 생체조직 검사 시술 시에 최소한의 기능으로 수술을 지원할 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하고 팬텀을 이용해 국재 정확도를 측정한 후 임상에서 사용 가능성을 평가하였다. 프로그램은 영상자료 입력, fiducial marker 등록, 목표점 좌표 지정 및 좌표 값 표시 등 3 부분으로 구성하였고 팬텀을 이용한 프로그램의 정확도를 측정결과 임상에서 요구되는 일반적인 국재 정확도 한계인 2 mm 이내였다. 이 프로그램은 고난도의 뇌 정위 생검 수술시 정확한 시술이 가능하도록 지원하여 수술의 위험도를 줄이고 수술 성공률 향상에 기여할 수 있으리라 생각된다.

Germinomas of the central nervous system are rare embryonal tumors(accounting for less than 1% of intracranial neoplasms) that may be located in the pineal region, in the floor of the third ventricle, or in the suprasellar area. We report a case of germinoma developed in periventricular deep white matter without pineal region tumors or suprasellar masses. The 19-year-old male patient presented with slowly progressing headache, dizziness, photophobia, and dysarthria. Initial brain MRI revealed a irregular and dense enhancement from lateral ventricles to 4th ventricle. The stereotactic biopsy of tumor and histologic examination revealed the germinoma. Craniospinal axis radiation therapy was performed. After radiation therapy patient was improved and no neurologic sequelae was seen at discharge. Periventricular germinomas without pineal or suprasellar lesion are very rare. The radiation therapy, as in our case, is beneficial as with other intracranial germinomas. Stereotactic biopsy of periventricular germinoma provides precise pathologic diagnosis and thus allows more specific management.

Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma confined to the central nervous system. Its diagnosis requires a stereotactic biopsy, which is an invasive procedure. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis is less invasive and easier to perform than a stereotactic biopsy. We hereby report a PCNSL case diagnosed using CSF analysis and treated with systemic chemotherapy.

Background: The increase in breast cancer awareness and widespread use of mammographic screening has led to an increased detection of (non-palpable) breast cancers that cannot be discovered through physical examination. One of the methods used in the diagnosis of these cancers is vacuum-assisted core biopsy, which prevents a considerable number of patients from undergoing surgical procedures. The aim of this study was to present the results of stereotactic vacuum-assisted core biopsy for suspicious breast lesions. Materials and Methods: Files were retrospectively scanned and data on demographic, radiological and pathological findings were recorded for patients who underwent stereotactic vacuum-assisted core biopsy due to suspicious mammographic findings at the Interventional Radiology Centre of the Florence Nightingale Hospital between January 2010, and April 2013. Statistical analysis was carried out using Pearson's Chi-square, continuity correction, and Fisher's exact tests. Results: The mean age of the patients was 47 years (range: 36-70). Biopsies were performed due to BIRADS 3 lesions in 8 patients, BIRADS 4 lesions in 77 patients, and BIRADS 5 lesions in 3 patients. Mammography elucidated clusters of microcalcifications in 73 patients (83%) and focal lesions (asymmetrical density, distortion) in 15 patients (17%). In terms of complications, 1 patient had a hematoma, and 2 patients had ecchymoses (3/88; 3.3%). The histopathologic results revealed benign lesions in 63 patients (71.6%) and malignant lesions in 25 patients (28.4%). The mean duration of the procedure was 37 minutes (range: 18-55). Although all of the BIRADS 3 lesions were benign, 22 (28.6%) of the BIRADS 4 lesions and all of the BIRADS 5 lesions were malignant. Among the malignant cases, 80% were in situ, and 20% were invasive carcinomas. These patients underwent surgery. Conclusions: In cases where non-palpable breast lesions are considered to be suspicious in mammography scans, the vacuum-assisted core biopsy method provides an accurate histopathologic diagnosis thus preventing a significant number of patients undergoing unnecessary surgical procedures.
