- Abstract
Computed tomography-guided needle biopsy has been widely utilized as an effective and safe diagnostic procedure in many clinical settings. In the lungs, transthoracic needle biopsy has become one of the primary choices to investigate nodules and mass lesions. The procedure versatility allows access to either peripheral or central lesions at almost any site, even in cases of small nodules. In this article, indications, technical aspects of the procedure, expected success and complication rates of computed tomography-guided transthoracic needle biopsy of pulmonary nodules and masses are discussed.
