Radiologists need to up their game and do more of these biopsies...while they still can.
Current Case:
71-years old man operated for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) had a surveillance CT showing multiple small lung nodules. He was referred for a CT guided biopsy.
Fig. 1 shows the right sided lung nodules. Of all of these the right lower lobe nodule in the medial basal segment seemed the easiest and simplest.
The nodule measured an average of 8.5 mm in size - 9.2 mm along the z axis and 253 cu mm (Fig. 2).
