Inclusion criteria

* Patient with localized lesions such as pulmonary nodules on chest x-ray, CT or PET CT * Histopathologic examination is necessary if lung lesion is unknown * Histologic findings affect the disease stage or treatment plan * If the investigator decides to perform a percutaneous lung biopsy because the biopsy or diagnosis through the bronchoscopy is not possible or has low risk-benefit * Patient who have consented to contraception during the period of clinical trial participation (one month after the procedure) * Patient who voluntarily agree to participate in this clinical trial and are willing to comply with the protocol

Exclusion criteria

* Patient with pulmonary function insufficiency * Patient who has difficulty in self-breathing (e.g, breathing through oxygen breathing apparatus) * Patient with Uncontrolled coagulation disorders (INR \> 1.3 or Blood platelet count \< 50,000/µl) * Patient with allergy to CT contrast agent * Patient under 19 years old or over 80 years old * Pregnant or lactating * Patient with uncontrollable systemic disease (e.g, uncontrolled hypertension, uncontrolled cardiovascular disease, etc.) * Patient who currently participating or has participated in other clinical trials within 30 days of the screening date * If it is judged inappropriate to participate in this clinical trial under the judgment of the investigator

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Needle guide accuracy(mm)1 day3D distance between target point and actual needle tip

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Needle guide angle deviation(°)1 dayThe angle deviation between the needle insertion path on the procedure plan and the path of the actually inserted needle
Number of needle readjustments1 dayRetract the inserted needle and adjust the direction
Number of needle reinsertion1 dayNeedle is completely pulled out and then inserted again
Needle insertion time(min)1 dayTime from pre-CT scan to the last CT scan before lung biopsy
Procedure time(min)1 dayTime from pre-CT scan to dressing after lung biopsy

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Radiation dose(DLP, mGy·cm)1 dayDLP(mGy·cm) = CTDIvol x scan length
Occurrence rate of adverse device effect(%)1 monthAdverse events that are correlated with the needle insertion procedure
