Comparison of lung lesion biopsies between low-dose CT-guided and conventional CT-guided techniques.

CONCLUSION: Compared to conventional CT-guided biopsies, lung lesion biopsies guided by the low-dose CT biopsy protocol showed dramatically lower CTDIw and DLP levels. In contrast, the diagnostic yield of the procedures did not differ significantly, which is a recommended technique in certain populations. PMID: 23817682 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
