Brief Summary

At St. Olavs Hospital, a prospective collection of data on complications related to CT-guided lung biopsies has been conducted over several years as part of quality control study. The primary aim of this quality control study is to map complications in all patients who have undergone percutaneous CT-guided lung biopsy at St. Olavs Hospital from May 2012 to December 2023.

Conditions

Pneumothorax Iatrogenic Postprocedural; Hemoptysis; Air Embolism as A Complication of Medical Care

Keywords

Lung cancer; CT-guided lung biopsy
