Core Tip

Core Tip: Percutaneous lung biopsy is the most reliable method for clinical diagnosis of lung cancer. In this study, the data of patients with peripheral thoracic focal lesions were collected retrospectively, and comparisons were made between conventional ultrasound-guided examination (control) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)-guided percutaneous biopsy in the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions. The results showed that CEUS guidance can improve the efficiency and provide significant diagnostic value for puncture biopsy of peripheral pulmonary lesions.
