What this Trial Is About
Researchers are investigating the use of transthoracic shear-wave ultrasound elastography to measure tissue elasticity in various causes of lung lesions. The study aims to determine how well this imaging technique can distinguish between benign and malignant pulmonary lesions. This observational study is sponsored by National Taiwan University Hospital and focuses on patients with radiographic evidence of lung tumors. This study involves reviewing a retrospective group of patients from January 2016 to December 2017 who have pulmonary tumors visible on imaging. The research assesses tissue elasticity using shear-wave elastography, a type of ultrasound imaging. No experimental treatments or interventions are given as this is an observational study. Participants will have their lung tissue elasticity data collected and analyzed based on past imaging records. Researchers will focus on the diagnostic ability of the shear-wave elastography technique over a six-month period. Participants must be able to hold their breath for at least five seconds during imaging. The study does not involve treatment but monitors diagnostic outcomes and tissue characteristics.
