Haven't had a CT guided BMB but can understand the need for one if it's difficult to find a spot where the needle will penetrate. My last biopsy was horrible because that was a problem. However with non-essential CT scans I guess we also need to weigh up the radiation aspect and its possible effects on vulnerable marrow.
