OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to determine the diagnostic performance of CT-guided core biopsy including both intervertebral disks and subchondral bone in suspected spondylodiskitis and compare the results with those for other biopsy techniques. CONCLUSION: CT-guided core biopsy of subchondral bone and intervertebral space compares favorably to previously published studies because histology can provide the diagnosis even when no specific infectious agent is isolated.
