  • Title: Percutaneous biopsy of the thoracic and lumbar spine: transpedicular approach under fluoroscopic guidance.
    Author: Pierot L, Boulin A.
    Journal: AJNR Am J Neuroradiol; 1999 Jan; 20(1):23-5. PubMed ID: 9974053.
    Abstract:
    Eighteen patients with vertebral lesions located in the thoracic or lumbar spine underwent percutaneous biopsy performed via a transpedicular approach under fluoroscopic guidance. This technique led to an accurate diagnosis in 16 cases (89%). No complications were encountered. For percutaneous lumbar and thoracic vertebral biopsy, the transpedicular approach is a safe and accurate alternative to the posterolateral approach.
