Abstract:Background: Pneumothorax remains one of the most common complications after computed tomography (CT)-guided lung biopsies. Radiographic features including bullae and nodule size are possible markers for post-biopsy pneumothorax. We determine whether a convolutional neural network (CNN) can accurately predict a pneumothorax after lung biopsy based on pre-operative imaging alone.
Methods: With institutional review board approval, we retrospectively evaluated 3,822 patients who underwent a CT-guided lung biopsy … Show more
