Image-guided transthoracic needle biopsy (TNB) accurately diagnoses chest lesions. Image-guided percutaneous drainage is the preferred treatment for intrathoracic collections, offering effective diagnosis and management.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic medicine
  • Interventional radiology
  • Diagnostic imaging

Background:

  • Transthoracic needle biopsy (TNB) is the primary diagnostic method for focal chest lesions.
  • Image-guided percutaneous drainage techniques have advanced significantly for intrathoracic collections.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an updated review of image-guided diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in the thorax.
  • To highlight the role of TNB in diagnosing chest lesions.
  • To emphasize percutaneous catheter drainage for intrathoracic collections.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on image-guided thoracic procedures.
  • Discussion of advances in cross-sectional imaging (CT, ultrasound) and interventional techniques.
  • Analysis of diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic efficacy of TNB and percutaneous drainage.

Main Results:

  • TNB accurately diagnoses malignancy and benign conditions in focal chest lesions.
  • Image-guided percutaneous drainage is the treatment of choice for various intrathoracic collections.
  • Advances in imaging and catheter technology enhance procedure success.

Conclusions:

  • Image-guided procedures, including TNB and percutaneous drainage, are essential in modern thoracic management.
  • These minimally invasive techniques offer accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for chest pathologies.
  • Continued advancements promise further improvements in patient outcomes.
