## BACKGROUND. The authors attempted to determine the utility of percutaneous core needle biopsy (PCNB) compared with fine-needle aspiration (FNA) in the diagnosis of peripheral lung carcinoma. ## METHODS. A retrospective review was undertaken of 156 computed tomography (CT)-guided PCNBs and FN
Imaging studies using the fluoride-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) scan have recently become available for patient neoplasia evaluation. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy is a well-described diagnostic method for hepatic lesion evaluation. Correlation of these testing
