Interventional Radiology

The imaging localization of a tumor or a lesion some times requires a histological identification.

In Magnetic Resonance Chios perform image-guided needle biopsies. Image-guided biopsy is done by taking samples from a lesion with the guidance from an ultrasound or a CT scanner. Depending on the location of the lesion and of adjacent structures, an invasive act may be safer and easier with a specific imaging method.

Computed Tomography (CT)-Guided Biopsies

Ultrasound-Guided Biopsies

The invasive procedures using a CT scanner – Ultrasounds, which are conducted in Chios MRI Diagnostic Imaging Center are:

Lung biopsy (CT)

Drainage of intraventricular collection (cysts, pseudocysts etc.) (CT)

Drainage of abscess (CT)

Drainage of pleural effusion (CT, US)

Drainage of empyema (CT)

Liver biopsy (CT, US)

Renal biopsy (CT, US)

Mass biopsy (lymph nodes, intra-abdominal masses, implantations, etc.) (CT, US)

Bone biopsy (CT)

Breast biopsy (US)

Placement of wire localization for breast lesions (US)

Thyroid FNA (US)

Nephrostomy (CT)

Placement of pneumothorax catheter (CT)

The Laboratory operates at its new headquarters at the junction of 2 Archiepiskopou Makariou and Karaoli-Dimitriou streets in the center of the city of Chios
