Italy236 participantsStarted 2024-03-08

Plain-language summary

A non-sponsored prospective randomized single-blind national multicenter interventional study which aims to compare the diagnostic accuracy between US-guided percutaneous lung needle biopsies and CT-guided in peripheral lung lesions. Secondary endpoints are: * onset of number and type of complications during and after the procedure, within the first three hour; * exposition to ionizing radiation, in milligray(mGy); * patient comfort during the procedure; * duration of the procedure,

What they're measuring

Rate of diagnostic samples vs rate of non diagnostic samples assessed by the histological reports, detecting the ones positive for malignant neoplasm or specific benign process out of the totality of procedures for both US-guided and CT-guided biopsy
