The role of gravitational effects and pre-puncture techniques in reducing pneumothorax during CT-guided lung biopsies
Strategic use of gravity by selecting the lowest possible entry point, ideally positioning the patient laterally, combined with pre-puncture pleural fluid administration, could be the key to reducing pneumothorax in CT-guided lung biopsies.
