Abstract

The etiology of many diseases in chest organs can be determined by a combined evaluation of the patient’s history, clinical findings, and diagnostic imaging procedures. A definitive evaluation, however, often requires additional biochemical, microbiological, cytological, or histological expert assessment. The material needed for such investigations can be obtained by targeted puncture. Given the appropriate indication, the puncture may be followed by interventional therapeutic measures (Table 9.1).
