Abstract

MRI-guided biopsies can generate challenging scenarios. Errors can occur for many reasons, both preprocedural and intraprocedural. Radiology errors have been studied for many years, originally classified by Renfrew in 1992 and revised in 2014 by Kim and Mansfield. While classification systems have focused on diagnostic radiology; many can also apply to procedural errors. This review aims to use the Kim-Mansfield modification of the Renfrew error classification system to provide a discussion and review of common MRI-guided biopsy errors to help radiologists manage them efficiently and appropriately.
