CT-guided transthoracic core needle biopsy of subcentimeter lung nodules: A clinically useful procedure?Scalzetti, E MGertsberg, MGrage, R A
If your doctor spots something out of the ordinary on your chest X-ray orCT scan, they may ask you to get a lungbiopsy. In this procedure, a doctor removes a small sample of cells from your lung and checks it under a microscope for signs of disease. You may also get a lung biopsy...
PET scans inject a mildly radioactive type of sugar into the blood. The sugar collects in cancer cells, which use sugar for energy. A PET scan is another way for your doctor to see where lung cancer has spread. Sometimes, doctors do a combined PET/CT scan. Lung biopsy Doctors usually c...

At a treatment site where a medical image-based biopsy is performed, a biopsy needle can be guided through intervention trajectories by using a computed tomography (CT) scanner or C-arm fluoroscopy device and images therefrom. For example, when intervention trajectories are planned, the intervention...
Comparison of radiation dose, procedure time and diagnostic yield of conventional CT-guided lung biopsy with CT fluoroscopy-guided lung biopsyPurpose: To create and validate a planning tool for multiple-probe cryoablation, using simulations of ice ball size and shape for various ablation probe ...
lung biopsyImage-guided lung biopsy plays a very important role in the diagnosis and management of lung lesions. As a diagnostic tool, it demands a high diagnostic yield and a low complication rate. It is imperative to balance the diagnostic yield and patient safety during lung biopsies. The ...

for targeting purposes. The Calypso transponder is a fiducial marker whose position is established by radio signal triangulation rather than imaging (i.e., no imaging is performed at all). Thus, the transponder itself is not an image guided localization device. There are numerous ways to alter ...
