Summary

Image-guided pleural biopsies, both ultrasound (US) or computed tomography (CT) guided, and medical thoracoscopy are important in the diagnosis of pleural disease. However, no consensus exists regarding which biopsy methods are appropriate for specific procedures.

In this prospective study, the investigators aimed to compare CT-scan guided pleural biopsy using an Abrams' needle (CT-ANPB) with US-assisted pleural biopsy using a cutting needle (US-CNPB)and medical thoracoscopy with respect to both diagnostic yield and safety.
