title: Evaluation of colour Doppler sonography in lung tumor biopsy.
abstract: Between 1986 and 1995, 1800 ultrasound examinations of the chest were done. Addition of colour Doppler imaging improves safety of procedures and allowed to perform ultrasound guided biopsy in 47 patients. On the basis of our experience we state that colour Doppler sonography guided needle aspiration biopsy is useful, sufficient and safety diagnostic method of malignant lung masses, especially peripheral and wall-chest located.
