Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical application of CT-guided automated needle biopsy in the diagnosis of pulmonary lesions. Methods CT-guided automated needle biopsy was performed on 168 patients in which the pulmonary lesions were not confirmed by clinical and imaging diagnoses. The success rate of puncture, accurate diagnosis rate, and complications were analyzed. Results The operation was performed successfully in all cases (100%). Accurate diagnosis was made in 158 out of 168 cases (94.05%), including 93 cases of lung cancer, 4 cases of metastatic lesions, 28 case of tuberculosis, and 33 cases of chronic inflammatory masses. The major complications due to the operation were pneumothorax (8.33%) and pulmonary hemorrhage (20.24%). Conclusion CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic automated needle biopsy, a feasible and accurate diagnostic method for the treatment of pulmonary lesions, and resulting in low occurrence of complications, can be used in clinical practice more widely.
