Abstract
The advent of computed tomography (CT)-guided transthoracic needle biopsy has significantly advanced the diagnosis of lung lesions, offering a minimally invasive approach to obtaining tissue samples. However, the technique is not without risks, including pneumothorax and hemorrhage, and it demands high precision to ensure diagnostic accuracy while minimizing complications. This study introduces the Laser Angle Guide Assembly (LAGA), a novel device designed to enhance the accuracy and safety of CT-guided lung biopsies. We retrospectively analyzed 322 CT-guided lung biopsy cases performed with LAGA at a single center over seven years, aiming to evaluate its effectiveness in improving diagnostic yield and reducing procedural risks. The study achieved a diagnostic success rate of 94.3%, with a significant reduction in the need for multiple needle passes, demonstrating a majority of biopsies successfully completed with a single pass. The incidence of pneumothorax stood at 11.1%, which is markedly lower than the reported averages, and only 0.3% of cases necessitated chest tube placement, underscoring the safety benefits of the LAGA system. These findings underscore the potential of LAGA to revolutionize CT-guided lung biopsies by enhancing procedural precision and safety, making it a valuable addition to the diagnostic arsenal against pulmonary lesions.

Abstract
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) system can provide real-time 3D images and fluoroscopy images of the region of interest during the operation. Some systems can even offer augmented fluoroscopy and puncture guidance. The use of CBCT for interventional pulmonary procedures has grown significantly in recent years, and numerous clinical studies have confirmed the technology's efficacy and safety in the diagnosis, localization, and treatment of pulmonary nodules. In order to optimize and standardize the technical specifications of CBCT and guide its application in clinical practice, the consensus statement has been organized and written in a collaborative effort by the Professional Committee on Interventional Pulmonology of China Association for Promotion of Health Science and Technology.

Optimizing lung biopsy procedures:Comparative analysis of diagnostic efficacy and safety in experimental low-dose, conventional low-dose, and standard-dose CT-guided approaches. Eur J Radiol 2024; 172:111331. [PMID: 38295550 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2024.111331] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2023] [Revised: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 02/02/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Lung cancer is a major cause of cancer-related deaths, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis. CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy(CT-PLB) is a valuable method for diagnosing lung lesions, but multiple scans can elevate radiation exposure. This study aims to compare diagnostic efficacy and safety across different CT-PLB protocols. METHODS 273 consecutive patients who underwent CT-PLB between June 2018 and February 2021 were enrolled, and were divided into standard-dose, conventional low-dose, and experimental low-dose groups. The study mainly evaluated technical success, diagnostic efficacy, radiation dose, complications, and image quality. RESULTS 93 patients were assigned to standard-dose group, 85 to conventional low-dose group, and 95 to experimental low-dose group. Technical success rates in these groups were 97.9%, 100%, and 97.9%, respectively. Procedure-related complications rates were similar across the groups(pneumothorax:p=0.71, hemorrhage:p=0.59). Sensitivity, specificity, and overall diagnostic accuracy were comparable among three groups(p=0.59,1.0,0.65), with respective values of 90.5%, 100%, and 93.2% in standard-dose group, 88.1%, 100%, and 90.5% in conventional low-dose group, and 91.9%, 100%, and 93.4% in experimental low-dose group. The effective dose (ED) in the experimental low-dose group was significantly lower compared to both the standard-dose and conventional low-dose CT-PLB groups[ED: 1.49(1.0∼1.97) mSv vs 5.42(3.92∼6.91) mSv vs 3.15(2.52∼4.22) mSv, p<0.001]. CONCLUSIONS This study has developed a standardized six-step procedure for CT-PLB using experimental low-dose settings. It can achieve comparable diagnostic efficacy to conventional low-dose and standard-dose CT-PLB protocols while substantially reducing radiation exposure. These findings indicate that the experimental low-dose protocol could serve as a safe and effective alternative for CT-PLB.

Pneumothorax and pulmonary hemorrhage after C-arm cone-beam computed tomography-guided percutaneous transthoracic lung biopsy: incidence, clinical significance, and correlation. BMC Pulm Med 2024; 24:33. [PMID: 38218792 PMCID: PMC10787482 DOI: 10.1186/s12890-023-02822-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the incidence and clinical significance of pneumothorax (PTX) and pulmonary hemorrhage (PH) after percutaneous transthoracic lung biopsy (PTLB) guided by C-arm cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Furthermore, this study aimed to examine the relationships between PTX and PH with demographics, clinical characteristics, imaging, and PTLB parameters. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 192 patients who underwent PTLB at our hospital between January 2019 and October 2022. Incidences of PTX and PH were recorded. PTX was considered clinically significant if treated with chest tube insertion (CTI), and PH if treated with bronchoscopes or endovascular treatments. The various factors on PTX and PH were analyzed using the Chi-squared test and Student t-test. Logistic regression analyses were then used to determine these factors on the correlation to develop PTX and PH. RESULTS PTX occurred in 67/192 cases (34.9%); CTI was required in 5/67 (7.5%). PH occurred in 63/192 cases (32.8%) and none of these cases required bronchoscopes or endovascular treatments. Lesion diameter (ORPTX = 0.822; ORPH = 0.785), presence of pulmonary emphysema (ORPH = 2.148), the number of samples (ORPH = 1.834), the use of gelfoam (ORPTX = 0.474; ORPH = 0.341) and ablation (ORPTX = 2.351; ORPH = 3.443) showed statistically significant correlation to PTX and PH. CONCLUSIONS CBCT-guided PTLB is a safe and effective method for performing lung biopsies. The use of gelfoam has been shown to reduce the occurrence of PTX and PH. However, caution should be exercised when combining radiofrequency ablation with PTLB, as it may increase the risk of PTX and PH.

Helical CT versus intermittent CT fluoroscopic guidance for musculoskeletal needle biopsies: impact on radiation exposure, procedure time, diagnostic yield, and adverse events. Skeletal Radiol 2022; 52:1119-1126. [PMID: 36355218 DOI: 10.1007/s00256-022-04226-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2022] [Revised: 10/26/2022] [Accepted: 10/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Image-guided percutaneous needle biopsies are essential in the workup of musculoskeletal (MSK) lesions. While helical CT (HCT) is well established, intermittent CT fluoroscopy (iCTF) is an increasingly used alternative. The purpose of this study is to establish whether differences in subject radiation exposure, procedure time, yield, or adverse events exist between HCT and iCTF guidance. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study included consecutive MSK needle biopsies performed on a single-CT scanner over a 12-month period at a tertiary academic center. Subject demographics, radiation dose, and outcomes were abstracted from the medical record. Comparisons between the two cohorts were performed using Student's t-test for continuous data and using Fisher's exact test for categorical data and a two-tailed p value less than 0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS Two hundred sixteen adults (115 (53.2%) females) with a mean age of 58.8 ± 18.4 years, underwent 216 biopsies (109 (50.5%) HCT guided, 107 (49.5%) iCTF guided) between June 2017 and June 2018. Dose-length product (DLP) and volume CT dose index (CTDIvol) were significantly higher for the HCT cohort (HCT 698.9 ± 400.8 mGycm vs iCTF 312.8 ± 170.8 mGycm; p < 0.005 and HCT 19.1 mGy ± 8.8 vs iCTF 6.9 mGy ± 1.5, p < 0.001). No significant difference in diagnostic yield, procedure time, or adverse event rate was identified. CONCLUSION For CT-guided MSK needle biopsies, iCTF decreases subject radiation dose compared to HCT without negatively affecting outcomes. iCTF should be strongly considered by radiologists performing MSK biopsies given the reduced patient radiation exposure.
