This study highlights that PET-CT-guided lung biopsies, especially when robot-assisted, provide superior diagnostic accuracy. Moreover, PET-CT-guided biopsies exhibit a high sensitivity and low complication rates, making them a reliable and safe option for biopsy procedures. However, limitations related to study design, procedural learning curves, and radiation exposure should be carefully considered.<\/jats:p>\n
