Transthoracic image guided biopsy.
Transthoracic image guided biopsy is now firmly established in the armamentarium of diagnostic tests to establish the nature of a mass in the lung, pleura, mediastinum or chest wall. It may be performed under computed tomographic, ultrasonic or fluoroscopic control, and provided a fine needle technique is employed, morbidity is low. Worldwide reports show a 90% true positive yield and a false p...
متن کاملImage-guided percutaneous transthoracic biopsy in lung cancer--emphasis on CT-guided technique.
Image-guided percutaneous transthoracic core biopsy especially with CT guidance is playing an increasing role in the diagnosis and management of lung cancer. The recent advances in the specific chemotherapy and novel targeted therapy and the increasing need for specific diagnosis of tumor histopathologic subtypes have direct impact on the radiologists performing lung biopsy and important implic...
متن کاملPERCUTANEOUS TRANSTHORACIC BIOPSY USING TRU-CUT NEEDLE
Biopsies of thoracic lesions guidance. 22 of the 1 12 lesions were mediastinal and 83 were pleuroparenchymal. A large-bore 14-gauge Tru-cut needle was used in all patients. Adequate specimens for histologic examination were obtained in 98%. The overall accuracy was 91 % with 9% false negative and no false positive diagnoses. Despite the large size of the needle, the total number of complic...
متن کاملValue of imprint cytology for ultrasound-guided transthoracic core biopsy.
The aim of this study was to investigate the possible additional diagnostic information provided by imprint cytology when performing ultrasound-guided transthoracic core biopsy and to evaluate whether it could optimise the biopsy procedure. A total of 155 transthoracic core biopsies with touch imprint smears were performed under ultrasound guidance, with 127 malignant and 28 benign lesions. The...
متن کاملCT-guided transthoracic lung biopsy: predictive factors of pneumothorax.
association has been described with similar results and could be due to a combination of the effects of obesity and diffuse airway obstruction. Obesity is known to be a major risk factor for OSA linked with increased neck circumference and amounts of peripharyngeal fat, which could narrow and compress the upper airway; obesity may also play a role by reducing lung volumes. Obesity affects ERV b...
