30 Ιουν 2024 · Pleural effusions are abnormal accumulations of fluid within the pleural space. They may result from a variety of pathological processes which overwhelm the pleura's ability to reabsorb fluid.
2 Νοε 2016 · Pleural disease is common. Radiological investigation of pleural effusion, thickening, masses, and pneumothorax is key in diagnosing and determining management. Conventional chest radiograph (CXR) remains as the initial investigation of choice for patients with suspected pleural disease.
5 Ιουν 2022 · Subpulmonic effusions (also known as subpulmonary effusions) are pleural effusions that can be seen only on an erect projection. Rather than layering laterally and blunting of the costophrenic angle, the pleural fluid lies almost exclusively between the lung base and the diaphragm.
1 Φεβ 2014 · Atelectasis or lung-collapse is the result of loss of air in a lung or part of the lung with subsequent volume loss due to airway obstruction or compression of the lung by pleural fluid or a pneumothorax. In many cases atelectasis is the first sign of a lung cancer.
10 Οκτ 2016 · Pleural fluid often accumulates in the subpulmonic pleural space (subpulmonic effusion), allowing the lung base to float superiorly. Subpulmonic fluid collections may be difficult to recognize on frontal radiographs, although some costophrenic angle blunting, a shallow costophrenic angle, or a hazy costophrenic angle is often present.
A pleural effusion is a collection of fluid in the pleural space. Fluid gathers in the lowest part of the chest, according to the patient's position. If the patient is upright when the X-ray is taken, then fluid will surround the lung base forming a 'meniscus' – a concave line obscuring the costophrenic angle and part or all of the hemidiaphragm.
10 Ιαν 2024 · Specific radiologic findings: Chronic pleural effusion. Rapidly growing effusion. Pleural plus pericardial effusions. Pleural effusion plus ascites. Massive effusion. Bilateral effusions. Loculated effusion. Contrast enhancement. Hydropneumothorax. Pleural thickening. Disorders with distinctive imaging findings: Empyema and parapneumonic effusion.
