The nature of pleural based radiographic opacities in the chest can be uncertain; however, ultrasonic examination provides a reliable means of distinguishing solid from fluid-containing lesions. It is superior to both fluoroscopy and radiography in accurately localizing loculated fluid collections for thoracentesis and can be performed with commercially available gray scale contact scanning equipment. Cases representing a spectrum of clinical applications are discussed.
胸部基于胸膜的影像学opacity的性质可能不确定;然而,超声检查提供了一种可靠的方法来区分实性病变和含液性病变。在准确确定胸腔穿刺术的局限性积液位置方面,它优于荧光透视和放射摄影,并且可以使用市售的灰阶接触扫描设备进行检查。本文讨论了一系列临床应用的病例。
