-Significant cases of subcutaneous emphysema are easy to diagnose because of the characteristic signs of the condition.<ref name="pleural"/> In some cases, the signs are subtle, making diagnosis more difficult.<ref name="Wicky00"/> [[Medical imaging]] is used to diagnose the condition or confirm a diagnosis made using clinical signs. On a chest [[radiograph]], subcutaneous emphysema may be seen as radiolucent striations in the pattern expected from the [[pectoralis major]] muscle group. Air in the subcutaneous tissues may interfere with [[radiography]] of the chest, potentially obscuring serious conditions such as pneumothorax.<ref name="Criner02"/> It can also and reduce the effectiveness of chest [[ultrasound]].<ref name="Gravenstein07">
