Conventional versus cone-beam computed tomography in lung biopsy: diagnostic performance, risks, and the advantages of tract embolization with gelfoam particle suspension.

ABSTRACT:

Background

With the widespread adoption of computed tomography (CT) technology, the number of detected pulmonary nodules has gradually increased. CT-guided percutaneous needle biopsy has become the primary method for qualitative diagnosis of pulmonary nodules. Benefiting from its three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction capability, cone-beam CT (CBCT) technology has also been widely adopted. Nevertheless, pneumothorax remains the most common complication of these diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. This study assessed the diagnostic accuracy of conventional CT (CCT)- and CBCT-guided coaxial core needle biopsy (CCNB) and the effectiveness of gelfoam particle suspension in reducing complications through tract embolization.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted on 320
