PDFAbstract
Objective To determine the accuracy of CT-guided spinal biopsy benefitted from PET-CT, to compare the results with those without PET-CT, and to determine if PET-CT influence the accuracy of CT-guided thoracic spinal biopsy. Methods In total, 180 consecutive CT-guided percutaneous thoracolumbar spine procedures (performed at the Department of Spinal Surgery, Xi'an Red Cross Hospital between April 2000 and July 2014) were reviewed. The 180 lesions were categorized by CT or MRI. Pathological and clinical follow-up were used to determine accuracy. Results The diagnostic accuracy of CT-guided spinal biopsy was 93.5% overall. CT-guided spinal biopsy benefitted from PET-CT (98.62%) was significantly more accurate than biopsies of general (90.12%) (P <0.05 ). Conclusion Percutaneous CT-guided spinal biopsy is a viable alternative to open surgical biopsy. The diagnostic accuracy was improved by PET-CT.
