title: [Transcutaneous pulmonary fine-needle aspiration biopsy under fluoroscopic guidance. Our experience].
abstract: The authors report the radiological method and the cytohistologic and bacteriologic technique of percutaneous fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the lung under fluoroscopic guidance. The results are reported of 620 biopsies of benign and malignant lung lesions; the biopsies were performed from January 1981 to September 1989. Surgery, follow-up, and autopsy confirmed the high diagnostic accuracy of this method. The advantages of fluoroscopic guidance are discussed and compared with those of CT guidance.
