Dec 1, 2015 · Transthoracic needle aspiration (TTNA) has been used to diagnose disease in the lung for many decades. Thanks to advances in technology and cytopathology, the diagnostic power, accuracy, safety, and efficacy of TTNA are constantly improving.

Dec 16, 2015 · Image guided TTNA is a safe and accurate modality for the biopsy of lung pathology. This study found similar yield and safety profiles with the three imaging modalities examined.

Arias S, Lee H, Semaan R, Frimpong B, Ortiz R, Feller-Kopman D, et al. Use of electromagnetic navigational transthoracic needle aspiration (E-TTNA) for sampling of lung nodules. J Vis Exp. 2015:e52723.

Feb 3, 2017 · TTNA is a minimally invasive diagnostic method, with a high positive diagnostic rate, less injury and low cost; so, it has been widely used in the routine diagnosis of SPN. Diagnosis of TTNA on small nodules has the following features: Wide adaptation range.

Transthoracic needle aspiration (TTNA), usually under ultrasound (see Fig. 19-3), CT, or fluoroscopic guidance, is an expedient and relatively safe way to diagnose the primary tumor mass and establish a diagnosis of lung cancer (see Figs. 19-1 and 19-6).

Sep 1, 1998 · Objective: The purpose of this study is to examine the accuracy and complications of transthoracic needle aspiration biopsy (TTNA) to determine its optimal role in the evaluation of patients with lung tumors.

Nov 5, 2013 · Background: Computed tomography-guided transthoracic needle aspiration (TTNA) and biopsy (TTNB) is a well established, safe, and rapid method of reaching a definitive diagnosis for most thoracic lesions. The present study aimed to determine the roles of TTNA and TTNB in the diagnosis of pulmonary diseases and to compare the results using these ...

Nov 5, 2013 · Computed tomography-guided transthoracic needle aspiration (TTNA) and biopsy (TTNB) are well established, safe, and rapid methods for achieving a definitive diagnosis for most thoracic lesions, whether the lesion is located in the pleura, lung parenchyma, or mediastinum.
