Success of Image-guided Biopsy for Small (≤ 3 cm) Focal Liver Lesions in Cirrhotic and Noncirrhotic Individuals

Image-guided biopsy of small (≤ 3 cm) focal liver lesions is highly reliable with the use of core biopsy alone. Neither size ≤ 1.5 cm nor presence of cirrhosis is an impediment to biopsy. CT and ultrasound guidance produce similar rates of success.
