The aim of this study was to present a CT-guided biopsy technique using an abdominal compression device. With this system, the digestive structures (mainly the colon and the small bowel) can be displaced away from the needle track and the distance between the skin and the target lesion can be reduced by approximately one-third. The technique has been used in 29 patients and was successful in 28, allowing node biopsies in the mesenteric, retroperitoneal or pelvic areas. The compression system is easily mounted and used standard sterilizable material. The procedure is well tolerated by patients and complication rate is not raised compared with conventional biopsy techniques.
