Abstract
A respiratory gating technique was developed to allow computed tomography–guided needle biopsy of small pulmonary nodules. Twenty-three pulmonary nodules less than 15 mm in diameter underwent biopsy with the use of this technique. There were 14 true-positive, eight true-negative, and one false-negative result (diagnostic accuracy, 96%). The diagnostic accuracy for small nodules without this technique in a historical control was 69% (P < .05).Keywords
