Where is the puncture site for a CT guided needle biopsy on the pancreas?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
The puncture site depends on the part of the pancreas to be sampled, ranging from it's head to it's tail. Draw a ring around the body from the level of the underside of the ribs to the level of the umbilicus and you have a rough idea of where the puncture will be. The path of the needle is chosen to avoid vascular and digestive structures.
