Comparison of the application value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound and contrast-enhanced CT in puncture biopsy of peripheral pulmonary lesions by Gang Wang, Ji-cheng Zhang, Zhi-hua Wang, Bo Gou, Xiao-lin Liu, Gang Liu, Jian Liu

“…The average number of pleural punctures, puncture time, satisfaction with the first puncture specimen, diagnostic accuracy and complication rate were compared between the two guidance methods.Results① Compared with the CECT group, the CEUS-guided group required fewer pleural punctures (2.5 vs. 4.1 times) and shorter puncture time (24 minutes vs. 42 minutes) on average, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). ② In terms of complications, the incidence of pneumothorax (3.1% vs. 8%) was lower in the CEUS group, while the incidence of bleeding (1.5% vs. 3.1%) had no significant difference between the two groups ③ When the diameter of the lesion is <3 cm, the specimen satisfaction and diagnostic accuracy of the CEUS group are lower than those of the CECT group (71.0% vs. 88.3%, 64.5% vs. 86.7%). …”
