Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the reproducibility of the PEARL approach to decrease pneumothorax rates by different board-certified radiologists across multiple medical centers using standard CT units. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This multicenter observational study included four average volume centers in two countries. Data for the PEARL cohort were prospectively collected between January 2022 and May 2023, while the control cohort data were retrospectively collected from procedures performed between June 2021 and April 2022. Patient demographics, lesion characteristics, intraprocedural data, complications, and procedural accuracy were compared. RESULTS: A total of 413 CT-guided lung biopsies were performed (204 PEARL vs 209 Control) without differences in patient demographics, lesion size (26.8?mm?±?20.3 PEARL group vs 27.7?mm?±?19.6 Control, p?=?0.4)
