Abstract: A novel device is described for efficiently harvesting bone marrow in bone marrow transplantation that uses a newly developed passive flexible drilling unit and suction mechanism. The device ...

In bone marrow aspiration, a slim, hollow needle with a syringe attached is inserted into the bone marrow through a large bone at the back of the hip known as the posterior iliac crest. You will ...

The bone marrow aspiration, which uses a smaller needle, is done first, followed by the biopsy, using a larger needle. Most often, the aspiration and biopsy are done on the back of the hip bone (the ...

The same type of stiletted needle is used for the iliac-crest and spinous-process punctures as previously used for the sternal approach. ¶ The needle has a total length of 6.7 cm. and a shaft of ...

Posterior Iliac-Marrow Cavity Entered through the Broadened Area of the Ilium Lying between the Inferior Portion of the Posterior Iliac Crest and the Posterosuperior Iliac Spine.

Evidence of bone marrow clonal plasma cells consisting of 10% or more of the marrow cellularity performed on a posterior iliac crest bone marrow aspiration/biopsy. Presence of any clinical or ...

The iliac crest has a large supply of bone marrow that can be tapped when a bone marrow biopsy is necessary; it can also be harvested for use in a bone marrow transplant. The bones of the iliac crest ...

Human bone marrow (BM) cells were collected at the Hematology Department, Skåne University Hospital Lund, Sweden, from consenting healthy donors by aspiration from the iliac crest as described ...

The iliac crest is the top part of the largest bone in the pelvis. The doctor then aspirates the bone marrow using a special syringe and sends the sample to a laboratory.
