Evaluating thoracoscopic pleural biopsy for pleural diseases
This study tests how safe and effective a procedure called thoracoscopic pleural biopsy is for adults who might have pleural diseases.
-
Evaluating FAPI PET for diagnosing pleural mesothelioma
This study is testing a new type of imaging called FAPI PET/CT to see if it can better diagnose pleural mesothelioma in patients compared to standard imaging methods.

Using confocal laser endomicroscopy during medical thoracoscopy to diagnose pleural disease
This trial tests whether using confocal laser endomicroscopy during thoracoscopy helps doctors find the cause of unexplained fibrinous pleurisy in adults.
-
Using shear-wave elastography to improve biopsy diagnosis in pleural diseases
This study is testing if a new ultrasound technique can help doctors get better biopsy results for patients with pleural diseases.
-
Comparing two methods for draining fluid from the lungs in emergency departments
