Fig. 6 Bone metastasis from lung adenocarcinoma tumour involving iliac crest CT imaging: b) Biopsy was guided by US imaging, the needle is visible along the biopsy trajectory (arrow). The use of color Doppler is crucial during a biopsy, to evaluate the vascularity of the mass and the superficial tissues.
