Tube thoracostomy
|
Chest tube passed through skin opening in chest to continuously drain a pleural effusion.
|
|
|
thoracoscopy (thorascopy)
|
Visual exam of chest via small incisions and use of endoscope.

|
|
PET (positron emission tomography) scan of lung
|
radioactive substance injected, images reveal metabolic activity in lung. Identifies malignant tumors.

|
pneumoconiosis
|
abnormal condition caused by dust in the lungs, chronic inflammation, infection and brochitis. Coal miners, asbestos, glass grinder.
|
|
|
