Official title

The Efficacy of Shear-wave Elastography-guided Biopsy for Diagnosis in Pleural Disease: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Overview

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.

Interventions

  • Procedure different types of ultrasound technique
    Shear-wave elastography-guided or B-mode ultrasound-guided

Primary outcome measures

  • The diagnostic yield of the two groups [Time frame: 6 months]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
  • Procedure time [Time frame: 1 day]
  • the rate of pneumothorax & hemothorax [Time frame: 1 day]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients with radiographic evidence of pleural disease

Exclusion criteria

  • Age < 18 y/o
  • Patients who cannot hold their breath for 5 seconds

Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
