Protocol Structure
Biopsy Intervention
- Topogram
- Biopsy Planning
- i-Sequence
- Post Aspiration (if indicated)
Topogram
ROI will be decided by Interventional Radiologist (IR)

Biopsy Planning
- Start and end level is depend on IR’s request
- Reconstruct the thin slice of the images
- Series of thin slice images is inserted in ‘Viewing’
- IR will choose which slice that will be the guideline along the procedure
- Insert the slice position (SP) in ‘Table: Position’
Reconstruction Biopsy Planning
[table id=30 /]
i-Sequence
- Select ‘HandCare’ based on puncture side and needle position
- Change ‘start button’ to ‘foot switch’ to enable IR start the scan by their own
- Make sure correct monitor position is selected
Reconstruction i-Sequence
[table id=31 /]
Post Aspiration
- Post aspiration scan is depend on IR’s request
- It may be without contrast or with contrast
Reconstruction Post Aspiration
- Reconstruction based on part to be examined
- E.g : Thorax – mediastinum window, lung window
