Abstract
Published reports of magnetic resonance (MR)‐guided needle biopsy have involved low‐and mid‐field‐strength systems because of the concern of needle artifact and risk of increased needle torque at higher field strengths. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of a high‐field‐strength (1.5‐T) system used to guide aspiration cytology in the head and neck in a patient. The procedure was successfully accomplished without additional needle torque or substantial increase in image artifact relative to lower‐field‐strength imaging.Keywords
