To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy, identify the incidence and types of procedural complications, and examine clinical factors influencing diagnostic yield.
Hospital-based observational study conducted in the Department of Radiodiagnosis, RD Gardi Medical College, Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, from January 2024 to December 2025.
Included 130 patients undergoing CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy, evaluating lesion characteristics, histopathology, diagnostic performance, and adverse events.
Diagnostic tissue was obtained in 119 of 130 patients, yielding an overall diagnostic yield of 91.5%, with malignancy confirmed in 72.3% of diagnostic biopsies (86/119).
Biopsy demonstrated a diagnostic sensitivity of 94.5%, specificity of 84.6%, positive predictive value of 93.5%, negative predictive value of 89.2%, and an overall diagnostic accuracy of 91.5%.
Procedure-related complications occurred in 24.6% of patients, with pneumothorax being the most frequent complication at 19.2%.
