Abstract
This study aimed to assess the usefulness and advantages of multiplanar reformations (MPR) during multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT)-guided percutaneous fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) and core biopsy of retroperitoneal lesions that are difficult to access with the guidance of ultrasound and axial CT alone owing to overlying bony structures, large vessels or abdominal organs.Keywords
