Figure 2

Needle track blooding (NTB) width measurement. (a) NTB with minor pneumothorax: A 4.9 mm ground-glass opacity along the needle path is seen post-biopsy after CT-PTLB on a left upper lobe mass, diagnosed as Adenocarcinoma. (b) NTB without pneumothorax: post-biopsy shows a 15.4 mm ground-glass and consolidative opacity after CT-TPLB on right middle lobe nodule, with no pneumothorax, diagnosed also as lung adenocarcinoma.
