Summary

To investigate the diagnostic power of computed tomography for discriminating malignant from nonmalignant causes to pleural effusions in consecutive patients with no malignant cells found at a cytological examination and a chest x-ray not suspicious of malignancy. The investigators hypothesised that the combination improves the chance of detecting the cause of the pleural effusion.
