Abstract
Although the mean attenuation of exudates is significantly higher than transudates, the clinical use of CT numbers to characterize pleural fluid is not recommended, as their accuracy is only moderate. Moreover, there is a notable overlap in attenuation values between transudates and exudates for a majority of effusions.
