Improving CT-guided transthoracic biopsy diagnostic yield of lung masses using intraprocedural CT and prior PET/CT fusion imaging

Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of intraprocedural CT and prior PET/CT fusion imaging in improving the diagnostic yield of CT-guided transthoracic core-needle biopsy (CNB) in lung masses. Methods In total, 145 subjects with lung masses suspicious for malig...
