Forty-three cases utilized US guidance, while 115 cases used CT, 41 with conventional CT (CCT), and 74 with cone-beam CT guidance (CBCT). Overall, the mean lesion maximum axial diameter and length of pleural contact for US-guided biopsies was greater than for CT (4.8 \u00b1 2.6 cm vs 3.2 \u00b1 1.9 cm and 4.0 \u00b1 2.5 cm vs 2.6 \u00b1 1.7 cm, respectively, P &lt; .001). Wait times for US-guided biopsies were significantly shorter than CCT by 10.9 days on average while being equivalent to CBCT. Procedure time was shorter for lesions localized with US than CT (29.5 \u00b1 16.4 minutes vs 37.6 \u00b1 19.5 minutes, P = .007) despite CT using less needle passes per lesion (3.5 \u00b1 1.1 vs 3.1 \u00b1 0.8, P = .034). Sample adequacy was equivalent for both modalities (88% for US and 92% for CT). The frequency of pneumothoraces was similar between US (12%) and CT (15%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ultrasound and CT guidance have similar safety and diagnostic adequacy for subpleural lung and pleural biopsies.
