A member asked:
Is sterotactic biopsy coveredvin an office setting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: I assume you are asking about a stereotactic biopsy of a brain lesion. This requires a ct scanner and special equipment which is only possible in a hospital setting. However, baring complication, this could be a same day procedure. It depends entirely on your surgeon.
