To compare the rate of detection of pneumothoraces from images obtained from a digital angiographic system (1024 x 1024 matrix) and from conventional film-screen chest radiographs, following fine-needle biopsy of the lung.
For 102 patients who underwent fine-needle biopsy, 2 digital fluoroscopic chest images and 1 film-screen chest radiograph were obtained during expiration after the biopsy. The images were interpreted by 4 blinded readers.
There were 30 pneumothoraces, of which 96.6% were detected from standard chest radiographs and 54.2% were detected from digital images.
The detection of pneumothorax from digital images was far inferior to that from standard film-screen chest radiographs. Therefore, standard chest radiographs are recommended after fine-needle biopsy of the lung.
比较在肺细针穿刺活检后,从数字血管造影系统(1024×1024矩阵)获取的图像与传统胸片上气胸的检出率。
对102例行细针穿刺活检的患者,在活检后呼气时获取2张数字荧光透视胸部图像和1张胸片。图像由4名不知情的阅片者解读。
共发现30例气胸,其中96.6%在标准胸片上被检出,54.2%在数字图像上被检出。
数字图像上气胸的检出率远低于标准胸片。因此,建议在肺细针穿刺活检后进行标准胸片检查。
