Explore the best routes for percutaneous biopsy of multiple lesions/organs via a quiz format, with emphasis on the shortest, safest path. Learn which modality to choose for percutaneous biopsy of different lesions. Learn the common risks and complications associated with percutaneous biopsies. Apply the above knowledge to future cases, including on board exams.

Lesions warranting biopsy will be presented as one or more CT images, followed by multiple choice quiz questions regarding percutaneous biopsy of the lesion. These questions include: Which lesion (if multiple) will you select to biopsy? What modality would you choose for biopsy guidance? Which route will you take to access the lesion? The questions will be followed by justification for the best answer to emphasize the learning objectives, including images depicting the actual biospy.  A brief discussion of risks and complications will also be included with each case.
