Abstract

Pulmonary needle biopsy guided by computed tomography is an essential tool for evaluating pulmonary abnormalities due to its high diagnostic accuracy in the detection of malignancy. The use of percutaneous biopsy in the lung is crucial in obtaining pathologic proof of malignancy, guiding staging and planning treatment. The purpose of this article is to review these biopsy techniques, their effectiveness, and any associated complications.
