abstract：OBJECTIVE:To investigate the feasibility and handling of abdominal MRI-guided biopsies in a 3-T MRI system. METHODS:Over a 1-year period, 50 biopsies were obtained in 47 patients with tumours of the upper abdominal organs guided by 3-T MRI with a large-bore diameter of 70 cm. Lesions in liver (47), spleen (1) and kidn...
