CT-Guided Percutaneous Puncture Biopsy of Thoracic and Abdominal Masses / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To sum up the application and the technique of CT-guided percutaneous puncture biopsy of thoracoabdominal masses.Methods 107 cases of thoracoabdominal masses were made percutaneous puncture biopsy,in which chest disease 81 cases,abdominal disease 26 cases.Biopsy was done using 18～20 G Franseen needle and 18 G coaxial automatic cutting needle.Routinely chose vertical plane angle,horizontal plane angle and vertical plane angle on one side of the body outline when needle was been entered.Results The successful rate by first puncture was 100%,and the total verification rate was 92.52%.The rate of thoracic complication was 11.11%.No obvious abdominal complication was found.Conclusion The technique of CT-guided percutaneous puncture biopsy of thoracoabdominal masses is simple,practical,high accuracy and only few complications.It should be emphasized that the needle angle should be having definite reference and the needles should be chosen accurately.
