Percutaneous Image-Guided Spine Biopsy

Definition

Percutaneous image-guided spine biopsy is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure that involves the use of imaging guidance, such as computed tomography (CT) or fluoroscopy, to obtain a small sample of tissue from the spine for further examination and analysis. This procedure is typically performed to diagnose various spinal conditions, including infections, tumors, or other abnormalities.
