Abstract
- Objective To evaluate the accuracy and safety of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) guided biopsy in the diagnosis of radiologically determined pleural based lesions. Method A prospective study was conducted on patients with radiologically determined pleural based lesions. Patients who met the inclusion criteria received pleural biopsy guided by CEUS to obtain specimens, followed by histomathological and microbiological examinations. After treatment and follow-up, surgical thoracoscopy was performed on cases with undefinite diagnosis. Result A total of 460 patients were finally included. CEUS showed internal necrosis in 72.17% cases and obvious peripheral vessels in 55.43% cases, both of which were significantly higher than the conventional ultrasound imaged (p p p p Conclusion CEUS guided biopsy provides a minimally invasive, effective and safe diagnostic biopsy method for pleural lesions. Clinical Trials Registration: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry ChiCTR2000029749 (ChiCTR, www.chictr.org.cn).
