Malignancy risk and contrast-enhanced ultrasound guidance in non-diagnostic biopsies of peripheral lung lesions: a multicenter study.

Safety and Outcomes of Image-Guided Transthoracic Lung Biopsy: Experience from a Single-Center Cohort Study

Objective: Transthoracic needle biopsy (TTNB) under image guidance is a cornerstone technique for the diagnosis of pulmonary lesions. Despite its high diagnostic accuracy, procedure-related complications remain a concern. This study aimed to evaluate the safety, diagnostic yield, and complication profile of image-guide...

Application of Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS)-guided percutaneous biopsy in the diagnosis of central-type lung cancer patients with bronchoscopy contraindications or failed

To explore the diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)-guided percutaneous biopsy in patients with central-type lung cancer complicated with atelectasis who have contraindications to or failed bronchoscopy. A total of 32 patients with central-type lung cancer complicated with atelectasis, w...

CEUS-Guided Core Needle Biopsy Reduces Underestimation in Breast Lesions: A Prospective Randomized Study.

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) guidance improves the diagnostic accuracy of core needle biopsy (CNB) for breast lesions and reduces the underestimation rate, while identifying the patient population most likely to benefit from this approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thi...

Histopathologic Spectrum of Focal Liver Lesions Diagnosed by Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Liver Biopsy and Predictors of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Single-Center Experience from Sub-Saharan Africa

Background: Focal liver lesions (FLLs) encompass a wide spectrum of benign and malignant pathologies, and accurate diagnosis is essential for appropriate management. Although advances in imaging have improved lesion characterization, histopathologic assessment remains the diagnostic gold standard for indeterminate lesi...

Diagnostic yield and predictors of complications in CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy: an analysis based on ATS/ACCP criteria.

Factors Predicting Non-diagnostic Results in Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Pancreatic Biopsy

The present study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic adequacy and safety profile of ultrasound-guided percutaneous pancreatic biopsy and to determine predictors of non-diagnostic results. In this retrospective single-center study, consecutive patients who underwent ultrasound-guided percutaneous pancreatic biopsy between...
