TACTICAL SELECTION OF NAVIGATION METHOD FOR PERCUTANEOUS BIOPSY OF THE LOWER THORACIC SPINE
Keywords:
percutaneous biopsy; spine; lower thoracic region; CT guidance; fluoroscopy; post-traumatic changes; deformity.Abstract
A comparative analysis of CT-guided and fluoroscopy-guided techniques for percutaneous biopsy of vertebral bodies at the Th8–Th12 levels was performed in a cohort of 35 patients. Diagnostic effectiveness, safety, and tactical advantages of each modality were evaluated. CT guidance demonstrated high accuracy in cases with complex anatomy and deformities, whereas fluoroscopy proved effective in patients with standard anatomical conditions. The choice of navigation method should be individualized, taking into account the level of involvement and anatomical characteristics.
