Ultrasound-guided percutaneous needle biopsy skill for peripheral lung lesions and complications prevention.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To investigate puncture skills and complications prevention in ultrasound-guided percutaneous needle biopsy for peripheral lung lesions.

Methods

Ninety-two peripheral lung lesions in 92 patients, detected via computed tomography (CT) and also visible on ultrasound, were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent percutaneous peripheral lung lesion needle biopsy under traditional ultrasound or contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) guidance paying attention to avoiding necrotic areas and large blood vessels. All the specimens were examined histopathologically. Preprocedure all 92 lesions were performed by traditional ultrasonography to evaluate the size, the echogenecity, liquefaction areas and blood flow on color Doppler imaging, some of which were performed by
