Ultrasound Estimation of Pleural Effusion in the Sitting Patients

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is the feasibility assessment of a simple and affordable model for the quantification of Pleural Effusion through thoracic Ultra Sounds images. Two US scans will be performed to measure: the height of Pleural Effusion column (hPEUS) and the area of the effusion in correspondence of the midline of hPEUS (aPEUS). The proposed model will estimate the Pleural effusion volume (PEVUS) by multiplying hPEUS and aPEUS. PEVUS will be compared with volumes estimated by CT scans (PEVCT), obtained within 24h from the US examination.
