CT fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous intervertebral drain insertion for cervical pyogenic spondylodiscitis [PDF]
A 79-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with C6-C7 pyogenic spondylodiscitis with an epidural abscess. Since the cervical intervertebral space is narrower than the thoracolumbar intervertebral space, drain insertion into the cervical ...

CT-guided biopsy of pelvic masses
CT-guided fine-needle puncture (FNP) was carried out in 74 patients with pelvic masses and resulted in a correct diagnosis in 36/45 patients (80%) with malignant disease. FNP was true-positive in 66.7% and false-negative in 20%. In benign and inflammatory pelvic space-occupying lesions, FNP confirmed the suspected CT diagnosis in all cases by cytology ...
