The utility of the low motion area ratio for the preoperative detection of pleural adhesions: dynamic chest radiography analysis
The LMA ratio is a useful objective index for detecting pleural adhesions. Adding the cutoff value of the LMA ratio (approximately 50%) to the conventional criteria may allow for a more reproducible preoperative assessment.
