Diagnostic value of transthoracic needle biopsy in lung tumors.
Thoracic ultrasonography is widely used in imaging peripheral lesions and invasive interventional procedures. The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic value of thoracic ultrasonography-guided transthoracic needle aspiration biopsy and the factors affecting the diagnosis of peripheral tumoral lung lesions. ⋯ Thoracic ultrasonography-guided transthoracic needle aspiration biopsy is a preferred approach to the diagnosis of peripheral tumoral lung lesions, given its high diagnostic rate, in addition to being cheap, highly suitable for bedside use, and safe, and the lack of radiation exposure.

Liver/spleen magnetic resonance elastography and T1/T2 mapping in chronic liver disease: a prospective study.
This study aims to compare liver and spleen stiffness measurements using magnetic resonance elastography with T1 and T2 relaxation times in patients with chronic liver disease. ⋯ Relaxation methods offer noninvasive imaging without additional equipment. Liver T1 mapping may serve as an alternative to magnetic resonance elastography for chronic liver patient follow-up, while spleen T1 mapping is not reliable.
