Sponsored by National Taiwan University Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Diagnostic
To investigate the information from shear-wave elastography on pleural tissues will improve the diagnosis of pleural diseases, as to increase the diagnostic yield in ultrasound-guided transthoracic pleura biopsy.
49 studies on the registry are indexed under Pleural Diseases; 13 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 234 is above the median of 91 across 34 interventional studies indexed under Pleural Diseases.
