Description
This book provides a comprehensive overview of interventional radiological forceps biopsy as a fundamental technique within guidewire-assisted catheter procedures. It opens with a detailed examination of the anatomy and histology of physiological lumens, establishing a critical foundation for understanding biopsy approaches. Building on this, the text contrasts classical endoscopic biopsy methods with interventional radiological techniques, outlining their respective advantages and clinical indications. Dedicated chapters further address procedural principles and the pathological interpretation of biopsy specimens, ensuring readers gain both technical and diagnostic insight. Structured around organ systems, the book systematically explores the clinical application of interventional radiological biopsy across cardiovascular, digestive, respiratory, urinary, reproductive, and artificial duct–related diseases. It also includes specialized topics such as biopsy in complex luminal conditions and interventional blood extraction techniques in endocrine disorders. By integrating anatomical knowledge, procedural guidance, and clinical case contexts, this work serves as a valuable reference for clinicians and researchers seeking to expand their expertise in minimally invasive diagnostic interventions. It is particularly suited for practitioners with prior knowledge who aim to refine their understanding of image-guided biopsy and its expanding role in modern medicine.
