Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed how different types of nodule-pleural relationships (like those with pleural tail signs) affect the risk of pneumothorax during CT-guided biopsies in lung nodules.
- - Results showed that nodules in contact with the pleura had a lower risk of pneumothorax compared to those with pleural tail signs or being pleural unrelated, highlighting the importance of nodule positioning.
- - Key factors increasing the risk of pneumothorax included crossing pleural tail signs, longer biopsy time, deeper needle insertion, and nodules located in the middle or lower lobes.
