To prospectively investigate the value of rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) in transthoracic fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of patients with pulmonary nodules. Computed tomography (CT)-guided FNA is commonly employed for the diagnosis of lung lesions and the most common reason for not being able to provide a diagnosis in FNA is inadequacy of samples.
