Biopsy without incision on bones and joints: Imaging-guided biopsy without incision on bones: Pelvic
Tissue samples have been taken from your pelvic bones.
In the pelvis there are various pelvic bones. At the back of the body the pelvic bones are connected to the sacrum of the spinal column. There is a joint on either side of the sacrum for this purpose. The pelvic bones plus the sacrum form the bony pelvic ring or girdle. In front, the pelvic bones are tightly joined to one another by ligaments and cartilage fiber.
The tissue samples were taken using a needle. This needle was inserted through your skin into the relevant bones. At the same time, images were taken of the inside of your body. That way it is possible to see exactly where the needle is.
Additional indicator
