With improved awareness of public health and the recent advances in various imaging technologies, the detection rate of solitary pulmonary nodules (SPN) is continuously increasing. Transthoracic needle aspiration (TTNA) has represented a major approach for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of pulmonary masses, owing to its simplicity and minimal invasiveness. This paper demonstrates the role of TTNA in SPN.
随着公众健康意识的提高以及各种成像技术的最新进展,孤立性肺结节(SPN)的检出率不断上升。经胸针吸活检(TTNA)因其操作简单且微创,已成为肺部肿块诊断和鉴别诊断的主要方法。本文阐述了TTNA在SPN中的作用。
