CT-guided lung/pleural biopsy is a minimally invasive technique that is safe and provides highly accurate diagnostic results. This technique is often indicated when the patient is suspected of having a tumor, inflammation, or tuberculosis in the lung, pleura, and mediastinum.

Pleural ultrasound is an imaging diagnostic method aimed at diagnosing diseases in the chest wall such as pleural effusion, pleural tumors or pneumothorax. This method has many advantages and brings convenience and speed to clinicians in the process of diagnosing diseases.

In respiratory diseases, pleural effusion (PEF) is a common syndrome and has many causes. Correct diagnosis of the cause of PEF is difficult but very necessary for treatment and prognosis.

Lung biopsies can be performed either closed or open. The closed method is to perform the technique through the skin or through the trachea. Open biopsies are performed in the operating room, after the patient has been anesthetized.

To detect lung lesions, in addition to chest X-ray and CT scan, patients are also prescribed pleural fluid aspiration and biopsy to obtain more diagnostic information.
