The authors evaluated accuracy and success rates for placement of fine-aspiration, core, and coaxial biopsy needles in pork meat with three needle guide devices and computed tomographic fluoroscopic guidance. Accuracy and reliability with a metallic sponge-forceps needle holder was equal to or greater than those with other devices, and it was preferred by operators due to its lighter weight and single-handed manipulation. All needle holders functioned poorly with thin-walled needles.
