Abstract

The applications are narrow in the scope of conventional ultrasound-guided lung biopsy due to the restriction of techniques.With the development and application of new ultrasonic techniques,a number of novel ultrasound-guided methods are applied in lung biopsy,which not only improv the accuracy of diagnosis,but also extend to special locations where conventional methods are difficult to obtain samples.The application of new ultrasonic technology in lung biopsy were reviewed in this article.
