Background And Objectives: The results of previous PET-CT studies are contradictory for discriminating malignant from benign pleural effusions. We purpose to develop a PET-CT score for differentiating between benign and malignant effusions.
Patients And Methods: We conducted a prospective study of consecutive patients with pleural effusions undergoing PET-CT from October 2013 to October 2019 (referral cohort).
Objectives: The aim of this report is to identify the radiological findings of unilateral tuberculous lung destruction (UTLD).
Materials And Methods: Thirteen patients with (UTLD) were reviewed from 1999 to 2014. Only patients with radiological evidence of absence of pulmonary parenchyma preserved were included.
