Summary
Transthoracic needle biopsy under ultrasound guidance is a highly effective diagnostic tool for peripheral lung lesions. This simple procedure achieves over 90% positive results with minimal complications, enabling accurate histopathological diagnosis.
Area of Science:
- Pulmonology
- Diagnostic Imaging
- Oncology
Background:
- Peripheral lung lesions require accurate histopathological diagnosis for effective management.
- Transthoracic needle biopsy (TTNB) is an established technique for evaluating lung abnormalities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided transthoracic needle biopsy in diagnosing peripheral lung lesions.
Main Methods:
- Ultrasound-guided transthoracic needle biopsy was performed on 114 patients with peripheral lung lesions.
- Histopathological analysis was conducted on biopsy samples.
Main Results:
- The diagnostic yield of ultrasound-guided TTNB exceeded 90% in this patient cohort.
- The procedure was associated with a low rate of serious complications.
Conclusions:
- Ultrasound-guided transthoracic needle biopsy is a safe and highly effective method for diagnosing peripheral lung tumors.
- This technique facilitates timely and accurate histopathological diagnosis, guiding patient treatment strategies.
