Chest X Ray
- In normal range in majority of cases
- Chest x rays may reveal an enlarged right descending pulmonary artery
- Decreased pulmonary vascularity (Westermark sign)
- A wedge shaped infiltrate
- An elevation of the hemidiaphragm (Hampton's hump)
- Pleural effusion (usually predicts the presence of an infarction)
