CT image-guided lung biopsy surgery is the gold standard for lung tumor diagnosis. The
preoperative path planning of the surgery is necessary, which aims to find some optimal …

Background In CT-guided transthoracic lung biopsy (CTLB), pneumothorax can occur as a
late complication (delayed pneumothorax). The incidence, risk factors, and clinical …

Background Pneumothorax is the most common complication of computed tomography (CT)-
guided needle biopsy. The purpose of this study was to investigate independent risk factors …

Percutaneous computerized tomography-guided lung biopsy is a valuable tool in the
evaluation of pulmonary lesions because it is minimally invasive and has a high degree of …

Objective To determine safety of shortened observation time without follow-up chest x-ray
(CXR) after CT-guided transthoracic procedures (lung biopsy or fiducial placement) in …

Background We aim to analyze the risk factors for pneumothorax associated with computed
tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous core needle biopsy (PCNB) of the lung. Whether the …

Purpose To evaluate the utility of immediate post-procedure computed tomography (IPP-CT)
and routine one-hour chest radiography (1HR-CXR) for detecting and managing …

Computed tomography (CT)-based screening on lung cancer mortality is poised to make
lung nodule management a growing public health problem. Biopsy and pathologic analysis …

Background Ultrasound-guided lung biopsy (USLB) is a minimally invasive, real-time, safe
and effective way to diagnose peripheral lung lesions. USLB is now widely used in clinical …
