Computed tomography (CT) screening has improved lung cancer survival, yet increasingly detects small lung lesions. Thus, the number of transthoracic lung biopsies (TTL for small nodules is expected to rise significantly. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and safety of CT-guided TTLB for nodules ≤20 mm nodules 20 mm. Data for CT-guided TTLBs from 474 consecutive patients were prospectively collected over a 3-year period (198 lesions ≤20 mm and 276 lesions 20 mm) in a teaching hospital and an
