Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of transthoracic CT-guided core biopsy of high pulmonary neoplasms using coaxial transport system in a day hospital; to analyze the effectiveness, nature and incidence of complications, as well as pain indicators in both groups.
Material And Methods: Transthoracic CT-guided core biopsy of high pulmonary neoplasms using coaxial transport system in a day hospital was performed in 184 patients for histological verification between March 2017 and December 2022.
Results: This method of transthoracic biopsies significantly (<0.05) reduces post-manipulation complications by 63.2%, provides higher quality (by 9.4%) of specimens and increases procedure rate by 53.5% from 26.4 to 12.1 min.

Purpose Of The Study: Open (incisional) biopsies have long been accepted as the gold standard in diagnosing bone and soft tissue tumors. However, the main disadvantage of this method is that it can lead to increased contamination, hematoma, infection, and pathological fracture. Compared to open biopsies, percutaneous core needle biopsies are less invasive, do not require hospitalization, have low costs and low complication rates, and there is no need for wound healing in cases that require radiotherapy.

Imaging-guided percutaneous core needle biopsy (PCNB) is currently the most common technique for the investigation of potentially malignant bone lesions. It allows precise needle placement and better visual guidance, leading to improved diagnostic accuracy. Needle tract seeding (NTS) is a rare complication of biopsies in general, and its true incidence remains unknown.

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/objectives: This study aimed to investigate pneumothorax risk, focusing on the gravitational effect of pleural pressure caused by specific patient positioning.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 144 percutaneous CT-guided lung biopsies performed between January 2019 and December 2023. Patients were grouped into those with or without pneumothorax.

Purpose: In the current study, the clinical efficacy of iodine-125 (I) radioactive particle implantation with deep hyperthermia in malignant tumor treatment was retrospectively analyzed.
Material And Methods: Sixty patients with malignant tumors treated at Zhongshan Hospital affiliated with Dalian University, from January 2021 to January 2023, were included in this retrospective analysis. Computed tomography (CT)-guided I radioactive particles were implanted into lesions, followed by deep hyperthermia administered for 3 days after surgery.
