Abstract:
The following report describes the method of CT-guided percutaneous biopsy of the spine. This procedure is indicated for all patients in whom a skeletal osteolytic focus of unknown origin has been identified. This is mainly the case when the presence of a malign process is suspected in which the source of metastases is unknown or when the blood disorder, which could be the cause of the focus, is still unknown. The text details this diagnostic procedure, with an analysis of its indications, counter-indications and the related risks.
