AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to validate the effectiveness of a CT-navigation system for percutaneous lung biopsy (PLB) in 496 patients.
- Key metrics recorded included lesion diameter, procedural time, and complications, with a 96.2% success rate in obtaining histological diagnoses.
- The results indicated that the CT-navigation system performed well, particularly in diagnosing small lesions and situations where a long needle distance was necessary.
Article Abstract
Purpose: To validate a CT-navigation system during percutaneous lung biopsy (PLB).
Methods: Four hundred-ninety-six patients underwent low-dose CT-guided PLB. Lesion diameter (LD), procedural time (PT), histologic validity, lesion distance from pleural surface (DPS), needle distance travelled during procedure (DTP), complications and radiation exposure were recorded.
Results: Hysto-patological diagnosis was obtained in 96.2% cases. Mean PT, DPS, DTP, LD were respectively 29.5min, 12.4mm, 17.9mm, 20.7mm. In cases of major complications (4.6%), higher values of DTP were measured.
Conclusions: CT-navigation system allowed a good success in terms of diagnosis in small lesions and when a long DTP is required.

Objectives: To quantify the stage-shift with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT imaging in metastatic prostate cancer and explore treatment implications.
Methods: Single-centre, retrospective analysis of patients with newly diagnosed [F]PSMA-1007 or [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT-detected metastatic prostate cancer who had baseline bone scintigraphy between January 2015 and May 2021. Patients were subclassified into oligometastatic and polymetastatic disease utilizing the STAMPEDE2 trial (ISRCTN66357938/NCT06320067) definition.

Background: Percutaneous rhizotomy of the Gasserian ganglion is a well-established intervention for patients suffering from refractory trigeminal pain, not amenable to pharmacological management or microvascular decompression. Traditionally conducted under fluoroscopic guidance using Hartel's technique, this study investigates a modified approach employing low-dose CT guidance to achieve maximal procedural precision and safety with the emphasis on minimizing radiation exposure.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients undergoing percutaneous rhizotomy of the Gasserian ganglion at our institution was undertaken.

Background: The rise of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) has increased the detection of small pulmonary nodules, demanding more effective localization techniques for their resection. Minimally invasive resection utilizing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a critical method for treating these nodules. However, traditional computed tomography (CT)-guided localization has limitations such as invasiveness and patient discomfort.
