  • Title: Transthoracic percutaneous lung biopsy.
    Author: Weisbrod GL.
    Journal: Radiol Clin North Am; 1990 May; 28(3):647-55. PubMed ID: 2183268.
    Abstract:
    Percutaneous fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the lung is a relatively simple invasive procedure with good patient acceptance, low morbidity, and almost negligible mortality. It provides a diagnosis of pulmonary, hilar, and mediastinal masses quickly and accurately, eliminating many laboratory tests and saving hospital days, thereby saving time and money. Percutaneous fine-needle aspiration biopsy should be performed early in the investigation of many types of intrathoracic lesions.
