Abstract

It is difficult to make a diagnosis between space occupying lesions and inflammatory lesions in the thoracic spine. Twelve needle biopsies of the thoracic vertebral bodies from Th3 to Th12 were performed under CT guidance without complications.Of these twelve cases, nine provided true-positive results with a pathologic diagnosis. CT guided needle biopsy of the thoracic spine is a safe, rapid, and reliable procedure.
