Abstract
Diagnostic Assessment of bone marrow aspirate particle smears, imprints and biopsy sections was
done on 10 Non- Haematological disorders. Core needle biopsy of the bone marrow is a safe and useful
procedure. It is a valuable diagnostic aid for measurement of marrow cellularity, metastatic tumours and
fibrosis . Bilateral trephine biopsy was conducted wherever necessary. Touch imprints were useful for
studying cell morphology, where aspiration yielded dry tap.All the three procedures of bone marrow
aspiration, trephine biopsy and touch imprints were found to be complementary to each other and
superiority of one method over the other depended on the specific disease process.
