Biopsy needles are typically 15 cm in length and 18- to 25-gauge in diameter. They may be aspirating or core biopsy needles. In addition, "automatic firing" biopsy guns are available.

Knowing the performance of core needle biopsy by subtype helps guide biopsy selection and may reduce procedural risk and cost. Core needle biopsy (CNB) is highly sensitive for diagnosing diffuse large ...

Core needle biopsy demonstrated high diagnostic sensitivity for CLL, mantle cell lymphoma, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Examining the biopsy reports, written consent was gained for the procedure, and the WHO checklist was documented. 1% lidocaine was the choice of local anaesthetic, and every procedure was either ...

Computed tomography–guided core needle biopsy with the coaxial technique The basic protocol of the CNB procedures with CAT was similar to that followed during the non-CAT biopsies. A 17-gauge outer ...

This removes the need for separate punctures, nerve blocks or sedation. Once the cannula is in position, the integrated needle is removed and standard 18‑gauge core-needle biopsies can be taken ...

NeoDynamics, Inc. announced the U.S. availability of NEONAVIA, the first and only biopsy system built on a patented pulse technology for controlled and precise needle insertion.

Different methods of DNA collection and needle sizes led to varied next-generation sequencing success rates among patients with lung cancer in a recent study.

WebMD explains whether you should be screened for lung cancer, and describes the tests that are used to diagnose the condition.
