Abstract:
The emergence of energy spectrum CT provides greater diagnostic value for clinical practice. Its advantage is that it can provide more functional imaging parameters and accurate image information for clinical practice, which represents a mainstream direction of CT technology development at present. This paper mainly studies the clinical trial of CAMPO Precision128 Max ENERGY spectrum CT combined with multiple parameters to evaluate the benign and malignant pleural effusion. This paper analyzes the principle and key performance parameters of energy spectrum CT imaging, the etiology of pleural effusion, and its conventional diagnostic methods and uses energy spectrum CT to detect the benign and malignant pleural effusion. In this paper, two groups of patients with different types of pleural effusions were scanned by line spectrum chest CT scans, and energy spectrum analysis software was used to measure and calculate the CT values of conventional mixed energy values of ROI of patients with pleural effusions. For the CT value and energy curve slope measurement value of different single energy keV, independent sample t-test was used to analyze and compare the two sets of data, and finally it has been found out that the two sets of data were similar. According to the experimental results, the curves of energy spectrum of the two groups of data are similar in the descending curve of bow-back. The slope of energy spectrum curve in the leakage group was lower than that in the exudate group, showing statistical significance (P < 0.05). The slope of energy spectrum curve K in the malignant pleural effusion group was significantly higher than that in the benign pleural effusion group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The trend of energy spectrum curves of the two is roughly the same, while at the high energy level, part of the energy spectrum curves of the two are overlapped. The above conclusion indicates that energy spectrum CT plays a certain role in the differential diagnosis of pleural effusion. At the same time, energy spectrum CT also provides a noninvasive and rapid examination method for clinical differentiation of pleural effusion, which has certain clinical application value and prospect.

Pleural Effusion II: Symptoms and Management
A pleural effusion is the abnormal collection of fluid between the parietal and visceral pleura layers of tissue that form the lining of the lungs and chest cavity. It can occur independently or due to surrounding parenchymal diseases, such as infection, malignancy, or inflammatory conditions.
