Imaging-guided Percutaneous Biopsy of Nodules ≤1 cm: Study of Diagnostic Performance and Risk Factors Associated With Biopsy Failure
Conclusions:
CT-guided percutaneous needle biopsy had high diagnostic yield for the diagnosis of subcentimeter lung nodules with a similar complication rate to biopsy of larger lesions. Fine-needle aspiration may be an independent factor for diagnostic failure even for malignant lesions.
