Quantification of echodensities in tuberculous pericardial effusion using fractal geometry: a proof of concept study
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to quantify the heterogeneous distribution of echodensities in the pericardial fluid of patients with tuberculous pericarditis using echocardiography and fractal analysis, and to determine whether there were differences in the fractal dimensions of effusive-...
