PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility of a new MR compatible optical tracking guided bone biopsy system. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Wireless optical tracker elements were connected to a bone biopsy set. Biopsies of five different anatomic areas and lesions varying from 9 mm to 40 mm (mean 25 mm) in size, were performed. RESULTS: We were able to perform the biopsies in all cases, and the samples allowed for a pathologic diagnosis. The procedure time was limited to less than 40 minutes, and no complications occurred. CONCLUSION: MR-guided bone biopsy with this new guiding system was a feasible and fast procedure that did not compromise the usability of the bone biopsy set. Copyright 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
