Robotic Assistance in PET-CT-guided Lung Biopsies: Enhancing Accuracy and Clinical Outcomes
PET/CT-guided biopsy of lung lesions led to fewer inconclusive biopsies than CT-guided biopsy, with similar complication rates. This study highlights that PET-CT-guided lung biopsies, especially when robot-assisted, provide superior diagnostic accuracy. Moreover, PET-CT-guided biopsies exhibit a high sensitivity and low complication rates, making them a reliable and safe option for biopsy procedures. However, limitations related to study design, procedural learning curves, and radiation exposure should be carefully considered.
