Abstract
Interventional ultrasonographic procedures have been in common use in humans since the early 1980s and provide samples safely and with a high diagnostic yield. In veterinary practices with diagnostic ultrasound equipment, percutaneous fine-needle aspiration and core tissue biopsy should be routine procedures in order to make a diagnosis. This chapter considers indications, equipment, sampling techniques and potential complications.

Ultrasonogram of the liver with diverging stippled guidelines, indicating the direction that needle angulation will take when using a transducer needle guide adaptor for cholecystocentesis. Numbered graduations on the side of the guidelines indicate a centimetre scale, which can be used to determine the correct depth of needle insertion. © 2011 British Small Animal Veterinary Association

Sagittal ultrasonograms of the left liver lobe demonstrating the CTB technique. (a) The linear hyperechoic biopsy needle can be seen at the periphery of the liver prior to firing of the biopsy gun. (b) Firing the biopsy gun causes the needle to advance further into the hepatic parenchyma as the sample is collected.
