Transthoracic needle biopsy with fluoroscopic or computed tomographic guidance is a well-established and safe method for diagnosing malignant and benign thoracic lesions. Nonetheless, ultrasound is as effective as computed tomography for the guidance of transthoracic biopsies of peripheral pulmonary lesions and mediastinal tumors, and it offers some advantages. In this case report, we exemplify the proper use of ultrasound for the percutaneous biopsy of a lung lesion, aiming to show that it can be a safe, inexpensive, rapid, and effective alternative to computed tomography in appropriate cases.
经胸针吸活检术在透视或 CT 引导下，是一种成熟且安全的诊断胸内良恶性病变的方法。然而，超声在引导经皮穿刺活检周围型肺部病变和纵隔肿瘤方面与 CT 同样有效，并且具有一些优势。在本病例报告中，我们举例说明了超声在经皮肺活检中的正确应用，旨在表明在适当的情况下，它可以作为 CT 的一种安全、经济、快速且有效的替代方法。
