Prospective Bone Marrow Biopsy Safety and Efficacy Study

Bone Marrow Clinical Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

Bone marrow biopsy is a frequently performed procedure to diagnose and evaluate hematologic diseases. It is estimated that over 700,000 bone marrow procedures (BMP's) are performed annually in the U.S. Most of them are performed by practicing hematologists/oncologists in their offices or hospitals. However, a significant number are performed by hematologists-in-training (H-I-T's) in teaching hospitals. However, the incidences of complications associated with bone marrow biopsy are largely unknown. This study has two goals:

1. The first goal is to objectively determine by CT and clinical assessment, the actual risk to patients of the bone marrow biopsy and the rate of pelvic injury in an unselected group of hematology patients requiring a bone marrow biopsy, as performed by hematologist-in-training.

2. The second goal is to determine the quality of bone marrow biopsies obtained, using the lateral angulation technique.
