To compare the diagnostic value of different frequency ultrasound-guided crude needle puncture biopsy (CNB) in peripheral pulmonary nodules.
Methods:
A total of 41 patients with peripheral pulmonary nodules who underwent ultrasound-guided CNB were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into high frequency group (7 MHz) and low frequency group (5 MHz) according to the frequency of the probe. The results of biopsy were compared between the two groups with echo
5 cm in the depth of the n
odules and 2 cm in the maximum diameter of the pleural contact surface.
Results:
The success rate of percutaneous lung puncture in 41 patients with peripheral pulmonary nodules was 95.12% (39/41)
the positive rate of tumor was 87.80%. The patients were randomly assigned to high frequency group (12 cases) and low frequency group (29 cases). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the depth of the nodules (
P
>0.05). The positive rate in the high frequency group was higher than that in the low frequency group. The incidence of complications was only 2.44% (1/41).
Conclusion:
Ultrasound- guided CNB of peripheral pulmonary nodules is effective and safe in the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary nodules in cancer patients
and the effect of high-frequency ultrasound guidance is better.
