“…Besides CEUS, US elastography is another promising US application for the evaluation of pleural processes [ 100 , 101 ]. Elastography is a novel US technology already used routinely to evaluate breast and thyroid lesions as well as liver tissue to assess tissue stiffness [ 100 ].…”

“…Recently published studies indicate that US elastography may be a valuable tool to differentiate MPM or pleural metastases from benign processes [ 100 , 103 , 104 ]. Furthermore, US elastography has been reported in several studies to increase the diagnostic yield of US-guided pleural biopsies [ 101 , 105 ]. In a multicentre study including 98 patients, D eng et al .…”

The pleural space is a “potential” anatomical space which is formed of two layers: visceral and parietal. It normally contains a trace of fluid (∼10 mL in each hemithorax). Diseases of the pleura can manifest with thickening of the pleural membranes or by abnormal accumulation of air or liquid. Chest radiographs are often the first imaging tests to point to a pleural pathology. With the exception of pneumothorax, and due to the inherent limitations of chest radiographs, ultrasound and/or computed tomography are usually required to further characterise the pleural pathology and guide management. This review summarises the utility of different imaging tools in the management of pleural disease and discusses new and evolving tools in imaging of the pleura.

“…TUS has demonstrated reasonable sensitivity and high specificity for distinguishing malignant from benign effusions. 48 , 49 Certain specific ultrasound characteristics have been associated with malignancy, such as pleural/diaphragmatic nodules, pleural thickening >1 cm, diaphragmatic thickening >7 mm, visceral pleural thickening, liver metastasis, and the absence of lung air bronchogram signs. 48 , 50 The best predictors of malignancy are pleural or diaphragmatic nodularity ( Fig.…”
