## Abstract ## Purpose. To correlate sonographic (US) characteristics and results of fineβneedle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of thyroid nodules in autoimmune thyroiditis (AT) with surgical pathological findings. ## Method. Forty AT patients with 40 nodular lesions were analyzed retrospectively. Fiv
## 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
## Background: Judicious utilization of fine-needle aspiration cytology (fnac) and 14-gauge core needle biopsy (cb) theoretically should result in greater accuracy in breast carcinoma diagnosis and fewer unnecessary open surgical biopsies (osbs), thus lowering health care costs. ## Methods: In 19
