Summary
This study tests whether injecting a small amount of fluid into the chest cavity and positioning the patient so the biopsy is in a gravity-dependent area can reduce the risk of lung collapse (pneumothorax) during CT-guided lung biopsies. About 198 adults with suspicious lung lesions will be randomly assigned to receive the fluid injection or not, and all will be positioned optimally. The main goal is to see if the fluid injection lowers the chance of lung collapse immediately after the biopsy.
