Musculoskeletal radiology utilizes percutaneous needle biopsies for diagnosing tumors and infections. Various needle procedures also diagnose and treat low back pain, including diskography and nerve blocks.

Area of Science:

  • Musculoskeletal Radiology
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Interventional procedures are a key part of musculoskeletal radiology.
  • Percutaneous needle biopsy is a definitive diagnostic tool for musculoskeletal neoplasms and infections.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review diagnostic and therapeutic needle procedures in musculoskeletal radiology.
  • To highlight the utility of these minimally invasive techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Review of percutaneous needle biopsy for neoplasms and infections.
  • Description of needle procedures for low back pain: diskography, nerve blocks, epidural steroid injections, facet joint injections.
  • Inclusion of other procedures: sacroiliac joint, prosthetic joint aspiration, distention arthrography, coccyx injections.

Main Results:

  • Percutaneous needle biopsy is accurate, rapid, and safe for diagnosing metastatic disease and round cell neoplasms.
  • Needle procedures effectively diagnose and treat various causes of low back pain.
  • Specific procedures target symptomatic disk levels, internal disk disruption, and facet syndrome.

Conclusions:

  • Percutaneous needle biopsy is essential for musculoskeletal tumor and infection diagnosis.
  • A range of needle-based interventions offer valuable diagnostic and therapeutic options for low back pain and other musculoskeletal conditions.
