In recent years, due to the influence of living habits and smoking, the number of lung cancer patients worldwide has increased year by year, and it has gradually developed into one of the common diseases endangering human life. CEUS can observe the lesion and realize the rapid identification of the location of the active area of the lesion. CEUS is the abbreviation of contrast-enhanced ultrasound technology. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound technology is to inject ultrasound contrast agent through a peripheral vein to perform ultrasound exploration to observe the enhancement of the internal nodules. Compared with color ultrasound, it can diagnose more accurately and improve the inspection effect. At present, this technology is used for the diagnosis of many types of space-occupying lesions, but it is rarely used for the diagnosis of lung lesions. The purpose of this study is to explore the role of CEUS quantitative parameters combined with lung biopsy in the assessment of benign and malignant peripheral lung diseases. Based on the relevant theoretical basis of CEUS and lung biopsy, 158 patients with peripheral lung disease were selected as experimental subjects, and they were divided into experimental group and control group for comparative experiments. Experiments proved the effectiveness of CEUS quantitative parameters combined with lung biopsy methods. The experimental results showed that, compared with the benign group, the time-intensity curve, the rise time, and the peak time of the malignant lesions were significantly prolonged. In addition, CEUS combined with the quantitative parameters of lung biopsy can effectively distinguish the activity of lung lesions and the site of necrosis and promote the effective increase of the positive rate of lung biopsy.

Abstract Background Transthoracic needle biopsy is a well-established technique for diagnosing pulmonary lesions. Computed tomography (CT) is usually used as guidance. Ultrasound (US)-guided biopsy is a relatively affordable modality for diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions (PLLs; also known as peripheral pulmonary lesions [PPLs]) and peripheral pleural lesions. Objectives The purpose of this study was to study the diagnostic yield of US guidance sampling a consecutive series of peripheral lung and pleural lesions and potential factors influencing the diagnostic yield with recording the occurrence of any complications. Patients and Methods This was a prospective study that was conducted at Ain Shams University Hospitals upon a population of 60 patients, during the period from September 2018 to August 2019. A special puncture transducer is used to perform US-guided biopsy with visualization of the biopsy needle and the lesion; facilitating the sampling procedure. Results The use of US-guided transthoracic needle biopsies across 60 patients was shown to have a yield of 75% which found the occurrence of 45 conclusive and 15 non-conclusive results From this study population, 70% (n = 42/45) were found to have malignant manifestations, of which 26 were undifferentiated high grade adenocarcinoma, and 9 were moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. As for complications arising from the biopsy procedure, twenty percent 20% (n = 12) of patients suffered from complications in the form of hemoptysis in 8 which was controlled by hemostatic measures and 4 patients acquired pneumothorax, three (¾) of them received high flow oxygen and conservative treatment and only one (1/4) patient had intercostal tube placement. Diagnostic yield was significantly increased with the presence of Wedge shaped hypoechoic lesions(p < 0.001), hard Mass consistency was significantly highly associated with conclusive results (p < 0.001), as well as a significant link between the longitudinal diameter of masses that had a mean length of 45.05mm ±12.93mm (#x0003D; 0.029).It also showed that more biopsies taken were highly significant correlation with conclusive outcomes (p < 0.001). Conclusion US-guided biopsy is a robust and accurate procedure to effectively diagnose peripheral lung lesions, with a low incidence of complications and gradually improving results with the mastery of the procedure.
