Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Methods. Patients with exudative pleural effusion, who could not be diagnosed by cytological analysis, will be included in the study. All patients were randomized following the thoracic computerized tomography with contrast enhancement. Patients either underwent Abrams' needle pleural biopsy under computerized tomography guidance or the cutting-needle pleural biopsy under ultrasonography. The two groups will be compared in terms of diagnostic efficiency and in terms of complications associated with the methods used.
