Official Title: Role of Ultrasound Elastography in Differentiation of Peripheral Lung Lesions
Brief Summary:
Advancements in imaging capacities and the development of a precise puncture-guiding transducer have made transthoracic ultrasonography a useful diagnostic tool for evaluating peripheral subpleural lung tumours.Different human tissues have varying levels of elasticity because of the properties of the extracellular matrix.Pleural two-dimensional (2D) shear-wave elastography (SWE) can be used to differentiate between malignant pleural effusion and benign pleural disease.Transthoracic 2D-SWE uses acoustic radiation…
