Conventional versus cone-beam computed tomography in lung biopsy: diagnostic performance, risks, and the advantages of tract embolization with gelfoam particle suspension
CCT- and CBCT-guided lung biopsies demonstrate equivalent diagnostic capacities, with CCT providing shorter median operational times. Importantly, gelfoam embolization substantially diminishes the risk of postoperative pneumothorax, underscoring its value in high-risk patients.
