Closed pleural biopsy. a) Example of a core-biopsy cutting needle. b) Example of procedural room set-up with operator line of sight and in-plane real-time ultrasound guidance. c) Ultrasound view of irregular parietal pleural thickening with effusion. d) Ultrasound view of irregular diaphragmatic and parietal pleural thickening with effusion. e) High-frequency (10 mHz) real-time ultrasound-guided cutting needle biopsy of pleural and chest wall mass. f) Low frequency (3.5 mHz) real-time ultrasound-guided cutting needle biopsy of parietal pleural thickening.
