Abstract: OBJECTIVE:Computed tomography-guided percutaneous fine needle aspiration biopsy of lung lesions is a simple, safe and reproducible procedure. Currently, it is widely used to diagnose lung lesions. However, different factors can influence the success rates of this procedure. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of radiological and procedural characteristics in predicting the success rates of computed tomography-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy of lung lesions.SUBJECTS AND METHODS:A retro… Show more

“…A study by Guimarães et al showed that a quarter of CT guided biopsies were not helpful in obtaining a definitive diagnosis. 5 These included samples that were inadequate for analysis and where cells were insufficient to confirm a diagnosis. In light of the past medical history, proceeding with elective resection was considered the most prudent approach for definitive resolution.…”

“…Guimarães et al concluded that this approach yields better results in lesions suspected of malignancy, in lesions located in the upper lobes, and in those larger than 40 mm.
