Abstract
The results obtained in 148 patients affected by nodular lung lesions have been evaluated. Transbronchial pulmonary biopsies (TBPB) and/or transthoracic fine needle biopsies (NB) have been performed. Diagnostic yield of the performed procedures was 61.5\% for TBPB and 91.5\% for NB. Radiographic findings and their incidence rates in benign and malignant nodular lung lesions have been considered. Accuracy rate of radiographic features, evaluated by discriminant analysis, was 77.4\%. Radiographic appearance has been more related to NB (87.6\%) than to TBPB (72.5\%).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
