Short summary

The aim of the study is to explore the use of ultrasound following CT-guided lung biopsy, and to investigate the role of ultrasound for diagnosing pneumothorax and for monitoring pneumothorax two hours after the biopsy.

Rationale

Ultrasound has a high diagnostic accuracy for pneumothorax, however very little is known about the role of ultrasound following lung biopsy and for the monitoring og the dynamic changes of pneumothorax.
