Role of B Mode and Color Doppler Sonography in Differentiation Between Pleural Neoplasm and Inflammatory Pleural Thickening in Correlation With CT Findings

January 26, 2023 updated by: Asmaa Harby Mohamed, Sohag University

pleura is a serous membrane, it consist of parietal pleura and visceral pleura. pleural thickening is any form of thickening involving the pleura more than 3 mm.

there is malignant thickening : methoselioma, metastasis and non malignant thickening.

trans thoracic USn is a reliable , safe and gold standard for studying pleura.
