Clinical value of an electromagnetic navigation system for CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy of peripheral lung lesions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the clinical value of an electromagnetic navigation system for CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy of peripheral lung lesions.

Methods

This was a retrospective study. Patients with peripheral lung lesions in our institution between January 2019 and December 2020, who underwent lung biopsy assisted by the electromagnetic navigation system were included in Group A, and those who underwent lung biopsy using conventional CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy were included in Group B. The general features and clinical and technical information of each patient were collected and evaluated in both groups.

Results

A total of 141 patients were included in Group A (78 males and 63 females; median age, 65 years; ra
