Thoracic US in Malignant Pleural Effusion Can US be used in a similar way to CT to assess the pleural surface? CT criteria for malignancy - Nodularity - Thickness > 1cm - Circumferential - Involves mediastinal surface Qureshi et al. Thorax 2009;64:139-143 Thoracic US in Malignant Pleural Effusion Can US be used in a similar way to CT to assess the pleural surface? CT criteria for malignancy - Nodularity - Thickness > 1cm - Circumferential - Involves mediastinal surface - Involves the diaphragm Qureshi et al. Thorax 2009;64:139-143 3
