[The diagnostic value of CT-guided percutaneous needle lung biopsy in diffuse parenchymal lung diseases].
This study was to evaluate the efficacy and limitation of CT-guided percutaneous cutting needle lung biopsy in the diagnosis of diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLD). ⋯ CT-guided percutaneous cutting needle lung biopsy can provide confirmed diagnosis in half of patients with DPLD, and has a high diagnostic yield in patients with infectious or neoplastic diseases, but it is not a good method for diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases such as NSIP and UIP.
