Article Synopsis
  • Lung masses can be benign or malignant, and Multi-detector CT (MDCT) plays a critical role in helping to differentiate between these types, although histopathological confirmation through biopsy is often necessary for a definitive diagnosis.
  • The study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of MDCT in distinguishing benign from malignant lung masses and to correlate imaging findings with results from CT-guided biopsies.
  • Conducted over 17 months with 52 patients, the study used descriptive statistics to analyze the effectiveness of CT-guided biopsies and the diagnostic performance of MDCT in identifying thoracic lesions.
