Patient inclusion, overall adequacy for NGS, and reason inadequate for NGS.
<p>Footnote: NGS: Next generation sequencing. <sup>a</sup> DNA quantity < 10 ng. <sup>b</sup> Less than 20% tumor cellularity due to necrosis, fibrosis and quantity of tissue available for analysis.</p
Example of likelihood of adequacy score 3 (high).
<p><b>(A)</b> PET/CT showing right lung lesion that is large and FDG avid. Also, there is no aerated lung in the planned biopsy path. <b>(B)</b> Arrow points to needle in right lung mass.</p
Example of likelihood of adequacy score 2 (equivocal).
<p><b>(A)</b> Chest CT showing right lung nodule that is small and in location (behind rib) requiring angled approach <b>(B)</b> Arrow points to needle in right lung nodule. Small pneumothorax is noted.</p
