Table 2 Relationship between frequency of pneumothorax and lesion depth from pleura.
From: Is emphysema a risk factor for pneumothorax in CT-guided lung biopsy?
Lesion depth (mm) | n | Pneumothorax | Pneumothrax requiring chest tube | Pneumothorax rate (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
0 | 57 | 15 | 0 | 26.3 |
< 10 | 24 | 14 | 1 | 58.3 |
10-15 | 6 | 3 | 0 | 50 |
15 < | 15 | 9 | 2 | 60 |
