Our objective was to determine the diagnostic performance of CT-guided core biopsy including both intervertebral disks and subchondral bone in suspected spondylodiskitis and compare the results with those for other biopsy techniques.
CT-guided core biopsy of subchondral bone and intervertebral space compares favorably to previously published studies because histology can provide the diagnosis even when no specific infectious agent is isolated.
我们的目的是确定CT引导下对疑似椎间盘炎的椎间盘和软骨下骨进行穿刺活检的诊断效能,并将结果与其他活检技术的结果进行比较。
软骨下骨和椎间隙的CT引导下穿刺活检与先前发表的研究相比具有优势,因为即使未分离出特定感染病原体,组织学检查也能提供诊断。
