      Owing to inherent technical advances and its better detection of thoracic lesions (some of which cannot be identified on chest radiograph), CT has rapidly become the modality of choice for performing transthoracic needle biopsies, with reported diagnostic accuracy rates ranging from 64% to 97%.1,5,6 CT-TNB can be performed in two ways: (a) CT-guided percutaneous core needle biopsy (PCNB) uses a core needle or cutting needle to obtain a specimen for histological examination; (b) percutaneous fine-needle aspiration biopsy (PNAB) provides a cytological specimen.7,8 However, many of current studies are inhomogeneous in terms of utilization of PCNB or PNAB.7,9

      Citation Excerpt :

      CT-guided percutaneous core needle biopsy (PCNB) uses a core needle or cutting needle to obtain a specimen for histological examination. Percutaneous fine-needle aspiration biopsy (PNAB) provides a cytological examination.5 The differences in diagnostic accuracy between these two methods are still uncertain; therefore, the present meta-analysis was carried out to determine the diagnostic value of PCNB and PNAB.

      2009, Academic Radiology
      Citation Excerpt :

      Percutaneous CT-guided transthoracic biopsies were performed immediately following the DE and DR imaging examinations to provide definitive diagnoses of the lung lesions. Biopsies were performed either by fine-needle aspiration and cytologic examination or by core biopsy and histologic examination (18). The DE imaging system was developed in collaboration with Carestream Health Inc. (Rochester, NY).
