“…H assan et al . [ 82 ] demonstrated the capability of US to assess the displacement of the collapsed lung and its echogenicity to determine its potential for re-expansion. The comparison of lung echogenicity made against the echogenicity of the liver quantified with the assistance of software revealed the area under the curve of lung/liver echogenicity to predict NEL was 0.77 (95% CI 0.55–1; p=0.03).…”

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.

“…The grayscale and artifact ratio between pairs of images had a high diagnostic power in all specialties. HASSAN et al [74] calculated the relative echogenicity of the collapsed lung to that of the liver in 63 patients with MPE undergoing medical thoracoscopy and found that relative lung echogenicity could predict lung non-expansion following drainage with an AUC of 0.85.…”
