摘要

Transthoracic needle biopsy (TTNB), most commonly performed as a CT-guided lung biopsy, is a critical tool in evaluating pulmonary nodules and masses. Over time, this minimally invasive procedure has become increasingly sophisticated, safer, and more accurate. This chapter provides an overview of the indications, patient selection, procedural techniques, periprocedural care, potential complications, and technological innovations in CT-guided lung biopsy.
