Article Synopsis
  • COVID-19, which surfaced in 2019, spread quickly around the globe, and CT imaging is crucial for screening, quantifying, and staging the disease.
  • Effective staging is necessary for healthcare management, such as planning for ICU beds and enhancing drug development through quick assessments.
  • This study explored the use of medical imaging and AI to improve disease quantification and patient outcomes, demonstrating promising results through automated deep learning methods and combining imaging data with clinical information.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine whether placing patients in an ipsilateral-dependent position during percutaneous CT-guided transthoracic biopsy reduces the pneumothorax rate.

Materials And Methods: Between July 2013 and August 2017, a total of 516 patients (317 men and 199 women; mean age, 66.4 years) underwent core needle biopsies performed using 17- and 18-gauge needles.

Objective:: Increased fludeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in morphologically normal adrenal glands on positron emission tomography-CT (PET-CT) is a diagnostic challenge with major implications on treatment. The purpose of this retrospective study was to report our experience of CT-guided percutaneous core biopsy of morphologically normal adrenal glands showing increased FDG uptake in a context of lung cancer.

Methods:: Biopsies for non-enlarged adrenal glands showing increased FDG uptake in lung cancer patients performed at our institution from December 2014 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.
