Funded Activity Summary

Currently, there is little evidence to guide the treatment of pleural disease, with common mismanagement and frequent adverse events. This project will develop image analysis tools, a clinical pathway and training to assist and guide clinicians in managing pleural disease, improving the diagnostic yield of pleural procedures, while reducing complication rates. It will offer a novel contribution to this young but blossoming field of respiratory medicine, ultimately leading to improved care for people with pleural disease.
