Abstract: | Purpose To quantify needle placement accuracy of magnetic resonance image (MRI)‐guided core needle biopsy of the prostate. Materials and Methods A total of 10 biopsies were performed with 18‐gauge (G) core biopsy needle via a percutaneous transperineal approach. Needle placement error was assessed by comparing the coordinates of preplanned targets with the needle tip measured from the intraprocedural coherent gradient echo images. The source of these errors was subsequently investigated by measuring displacement caused by needle deflection and needle susceptibility artifact shift in controlled phantom studies. Needle placement error due to misalignment of the needle template guide was also evaluated. Results The mean and standard deviation (SD) of errors in targeted biopsies was 6.5 ± 3.5 mm. Phantom experiments showed significant placement error due to needle deflection with a needle with an asymmetrically beveled tip (3.2–8.7 mm depending on tissue type) but significantly smaller error with a symmetrical bevel (0.6–1.1 mm). Needle susceptibility artifacts observed a shift of 1.6 ± 0.4 mm from the true needle axis. Misalignment of the needle template guide contributed an error of 1.5 ± 0.3 mm. Conclusion Needle placement error was clinically significant in MRI‐guided biopsy for diagnosis of prostate cancer. Needle placement error due to needle deflection was the most significant cause of error, especially for needles with an asymmetrical bevel. J. Magn. Reson.
