In a prospective study, A mode ultrasound scanning contributed to the diagnosis and management of 24 of 50 consecutive patients with pleural disease. In 30% of patients it was superior to radiology in clarifying the solid or fluid nature of a pleural opacity, and in 42% of patients it allowed selection of the most appropriate site for the aspiration of pleural fluid. The technique is simple and the apparatus is widely available. We believe that ultrasound is an important practical aid in the diagnosis and management of pleural disease.
在一项前瞻性研究中,A型超声扫描有助于对50例连续胸膜疾病患者中的24例进行诊断和治疗。在30%的患者中,在明确胸膜混浊的实性或液性性质方面,超声优于放射学;在42%的患者中,超声有助于选择最合适的胸腔穿刺抽液部位。该技术操作简单,设备广泛可得。我们认为超声是胸膜疾病诊断和治疗中的一项重要实用辅助手段。
