The Diagnostic Value of CT-guided Percutaneous Lung Biopsy of Lung Lesions

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value and the safety of CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy of lung nodules. Methods:Datas of 119 cases lung nodules who underwent CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy were studied. The sensitivity with diagnositic accuracy and complications were analyzed. Results:There were total 84 case of malignant tumor and 35 cases of benign lesion.79 cases of malignant tumor and 35 cases with benign lesion were diagnosed by CT-guided purcutaneous lung biopsy. 5 cases were diagnosed through clinical observation or operatioa The diagnositic sensitivity and accuracy were 94. 0%(79/84) and 100% (35/35) respectively. False negative rate and false positive rate were 4.2% and 0% respectively. The overall accurate rate was 95. 8%(114/119). Incidence of post-biopsy pneumothorax, hymoptysis, thoracic cavity bleeding and cerebral infarction were 16. 0%(19/119), 20.2%(24/119), 1.7%(2/119) and 1.7%(2/119) respectively. Conclusion: CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy is relatively safe and has high diagnositic accuracy in lung lesions.
