Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Pathology
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Vertebral lesions require accurate etiological diagnosis for effective treatment.
  • CT-guided biopsy is a minimally invasive diagnostic tool.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the CT-guided vertebral biopsy technique.
  • To evaluate its efficacy in diagnosing various vertebral lesions.

Main Methods:

  • Description of biopsy techniques, needles, and routes.
  • Correlation with lesion characteristics (osteolytic/osteosclerotic).
  • Analysis of diagnostic yield for infectious and tumoral diseases.

Main Results:

  • CT-guided biopsy is simple, safe, and effective for vertebral lesions.
  • Positive results in 60% of infectious spondylodiscitis cases.
  • Biopsy with cytology is optimal for tumoral diseases, especially osteolytic lesions.

Conclusions:

  • CT-guided vertebral biopsy is a valuable diagnostic procedure.
  • Early diagnosis of tuberculous spondylodiscitis relies on histopathology.
  • Combined biopsy and cytology enhance tumor diagnosis.
