Department of Radiology, Grampians Health, Ballarat Central, Victoria, Australia.

Background: CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy is the primary method for diagnosing lung lesions. Widely accepted validated risk prediction models are yet to be developed. A recently published study conducted at Grampians Health Services (GHS) developed two risk prediction models for predicting pneumothorax and intercostal catheter (ICC) insertion.

Background: This study aims to investigate the factors influencing false-negative results in ultrasound-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle lung biopsy results (US-PTLB).

Materials And Methods: This ambispective cohort study included patients with subpleural pulmonary lesions who underwent US-PTLB with benign pathological findings between April 2017 and June 2022 (retrospective cohort) and between July 2022 and October 2022 (prospective cohort). In the retrospective cohort, comparative and logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors for false-negative biopsy results.

CT-guided transthoracic core-needle biopsy (CT-TTNB) is a minimally invasive procedure that plays a crucial role in diagnosing pulmonary nodules. With high diagnostic yield and low complication rates, CT-TTNB is favored over traditional surgical biopsies, providing accuracy in detecting both malignant and benign conditions. This literature review aims to present a comprehensive overview of CT-TTNB, focusing on its indications, procedural techniques, diagnostic yield, and safety considerations.

Background: Transthoracic biopsy has proven to be an effective procedure, especially for peripheral lung lesions, in obtaining samples that can definitively diagnose the underlying pathology. Despite its effectiveness, studies have demonstrated that it is associated with complications such as pneumothorax and hemoptysis. This study aims to evaluate the incidence of these complications and identify prognostic factors in patients who underwent a transthoracic biopsy.
