In the researchers' words
Patients with suspicious lung lesions were undertaken for PET/CT directed under CT fluoroscopy lung biopsy or robotic-assisted biopsy. The biopsy planning including patient positioning was done after F18-FDG PET/CT whole body or regional imaging of the patient. Written consent was obtained and the patient will be prepared for the biopsy. Lung biopsies were done using a semi-automatic biopsy gun under the imaging guidance (PET fused CT fluoroscopy) following aseptic precautions. Follow-up CT scans were taken post-biopsy. The time consumed for the procedure, radiation exposure to the interventionist, complications and diagnostic yield in both the arms were compared.
