Transthoracic needle biopsy (TTNB) is done with imaging guidance and most frequently by
a radiologist, for the aim is to diagnose a defined mass. It is integral in the diagnosis and …

Background Image-guided thermal ablation can be used for the treatment of medically
inoperable primary and metastatic lung cancer. These techniques are based on the heating …

Aim To investigate the technical success rate and procedure-related complications of
computed tomography (CT)-guided needle biopsy of lung lesions and to identify the factors …

The advent of robotic systems in interventional radiology marks a significant evolution in
minimally invasive medical procedures, offering enhanced precision, safety, and efficiency …

Abstract Purpose Percutaneous lung biopsies (PLBs) performed for the evaluation of
pulmonary masses require image guidance to avoid critical structures. A new CT navigation …

Objective Evaluate the performance of a robotic system for CT-guided lung biopsy in
comparison to the conventional manual technique. Materials and methods One hundred …

Pulmonary nodules are often discovered incidentally during CT scans performed for other
reasons. While the vast majority of nodules are benign, a small percentage may represent …

BACKGROUND. Concern may exist that pulmonary lesions associated with cystic airspaces
are at risk of increased biopsy complications or lower biopsy accuracy given challenges in …

Background Computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy
(PTNB) is highly affected by respiratory motion; however, respiratory motion of target nodule …

Objectives: This systematic review aims to assess existing research concerning the use of
robotic systems to execute percutaneous lung biopsy. Methods: A systematic review was …
