Objective:
We examined the usefulness of soft X-ray radiography of the specimen which was obtained by the lung wedge biopsy.
Patients And Methods:
From September 2002 to September 2005, we entered the 10 cases (5 men and 5 women) which were consisted of 15 lesions. We performed lung wedge biopsy after computed tomography (CT)-guided lung marking, and then confirmed the lesion in the specimen by means of soft X-ray radiography.
Results:
We could confirm impalpable small lung lesions in all cases.
Conclusion:
The confirmation method of impalpable small lung lesion that combined CT-guided lung marking with soft X-ray radiography was very useful.
