Comparative Study on Application of Ultrasound and Computed Radiography in DiagnosingPneumoconiosis with Infrapulmonary Effusion

Abstract

Abstract

Objective To compare the diagnostic value of ultrasound (UR) and computed radiography (CR) inpneumoconiosis with infrapulmonary effusion.

Methods The UR,CR and computed tomography (CT) images andthoracocentesis data of 58 pneumoconiosis patients with infrapulmonary effusion were reviewed retrospectively.

Results The detection rates of small quantity of infrapulmonary effusion by UR (100%) were higher than those by CR (85.10%) in thepneumoconiosis patients (P<0.01),but no significant difference was found in those of medium or large amount of infrapulmonaryeffusion.

Conclusion UR is of great clinical importance in the diagnosis of pneumoconiosis with infrapulmonary effusion.Thecombination of UR and CR can improve diagnostic accuracy.
