What is pectoroscopy?

Answer 1

Pectoroscopy is a diagnostic procedure that involves the examination of the pleural space and associated structures using imaging techniques, often in the context of evaluating respiratory conditions. It typically involves the use of imaging modalities like ultrasound or CT scans to assess pleural effusions, tumors, or infections. The term is less commonly used compared to other diagnostic methods, but it emphasizes the examination of the pectoral (chest) area.
