The removal of a small sample of tissue from the bone marrow (usually from the hip) with a large needle. The cells are examined under a microscope to determine how much of the bone marrow is affected by cancerous cells. A bone marrow biopsy is usually done at the same time as a bone marrow aspiration.
a procedure in which a solid, small piece of bone marrow tissue is removed by needle from the marrow cavity for study.
The removal of a sample of bone marrow and a small amount of bone (usually from the hip) through a large needle. At least two samples are taken. The first is by aspiration (suction with a syringe). The second sample is a core biopsy to obtain bone marrow together with bone fibers. After the needle is removed, this solid sample is pushed out of the needle with a wire. Both samples are examined under a microscope to look for diseases, abnormalities, and a blood cell count.
Common minor surgical procedure to determine the abscence or presence of disease in the bone marrow. Usually done on one of the iliac crests (back hip bones) where a needle is inserted to take a core sample of the bone marrow. Usually done at the same time as a Bone marrow aspirate.
Removal of bone marrow tissue via the use of a needle.
A procedure that requires a needle to be place into a cavity of the bone to remove a small amount of bone marrow for examination under a microscope.
The removal of a sample of solid tissue from the bone marrow for examination under a microscope. The results of the examination tell the doctor whether cancer cells are present.
an investigative technique in which a small needle is inserted into the bone and a piece of the marrow tissue is taken out
a procedure for removing a sample of tissue from the center of a bone for lab tests
a way to remove some marrow for testing
procedure in which a small piece of bone marrow tissue is removed with a needle; sample is processed by softening the bone and examining thin slices of the softened bone under a microscope.
A procedure involving a biopsy needle used to obtain a cylindrical core sample of bone and marrow tissue for review under a microscope.
Similar to a bone marrow aspirate, but a larger needle is used to remove a small bone fragment.
Insertion of a biopsy needle into the hipbone to retrieve a small sample of bone.
The removal of a sample of bone marrow and a small amount of bone (usually from the hip) through a large needle. Two samples are taken. The first is bone marrow by aspiration (suction with a syringe). The second sample is a core biopsy to obtain bone marrow together with bone fibers. After the needle is removed, this solid sample is pushed out of the needle with a wire. Both samples are examined under a microscope to see the cells and architecture of the bone marrow.
The removal of a small piece of bone and bone marrow (usually from the hip) through a large needle. The sample is examined under a microscope to see whether cancer cells are present.
Similar to a bone marrow aspirate, but a small slither of the bone is also removed for examination.
A test where a needle is inserted into the bone of the hip or sternum (breastbone) to obtain a marrow sample for microscopic study and examination.
A medical process in which an intact piece of marrow is removed for study.
Similar to a bone marrow aspiration, but performed with a slightly different piece of equipment. It is used when a chunk of marrow itself is needed for diagnostic purposes, or when a BMA is unsuccessful because the marrow is too fibrotic, that is, when there is too much fibrous tissue and not enough to pull up through the aspiration needle.
The removal of a sample of tissue from the bone marrow with a needle for examination under a microscope.
The removal of a sample of tissue from the bone marrow with a large needle. The cells are checked to see whether they are cancerous. If cancerous plasma cells are found, the pathologist estimates how much of the bone marrow is affected. Bone marrow biopsy is usually done at the same time as bone marrow aspiration.
Bone marrow examination refers to the pathologic analysis of samples of bone marrow obtained by bone marrow biopsy (often called a trephine biopsy) and bone marrow aspiration. Bone marrow examination is used in the diagnosis of a number of conditions, including leukemia, multiple myeloma, and anemia. The bone marrow produces the cellular elements of the blood, including platelets, red blood cells and white blood cells.
