24 patients suspected to have a pancreatic expansive lesion underwent a biopsy with Chiba needle: 15 biopsies were guided by US and 9 by CT. Such series regards lesions having a diameter between 2.5 and 5.5 cm with average values of 4 cm. The results showed high specificity (100%) and satisfactory accuracy (66.6%); complications never set in. The authors prove the clinical utility of this procedure instead of the laparotomy and stress the importance of a strict collaboration between radiologist and cytologist in order to achieve the best results.
24例疑似胰腺占位性病变的患者接受了千叶针活检：15例活检由超声引导，9例由CT引导。该系列研究的病变直径在2.5至5.5厘米之间，平均值为4厘米。结果显示出高特异性（100%）和令人满意的准确性（66.6%）；未出现并发症。作者证明了该操作相对于剖腹手术的临床实用性，并强调了放射科医生和细胞病理学家之间紧密合作以取得最佳结果的重要性。
