Pneumothorax is the most common complication following computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy. In severe cases, it may require chest tube placement, which is associated with increased morbidity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of the pleural tail sign (PTS) as an imaging marker for predicting pneumothorax incidence and severity after lung biopsy.
