Overview
Chest radiography is the initial imaging modality in evaluation of pleural disease.[1] Lateral view is superior in detecting parapneumonic effusions and empyema compared to anteroposterior chest x ray.[2] Chest X ray of empyema shows air-fluid level with continuous homogenous pattern from the mediastinum to the chest wall forming an obtuse angle with the lung parenchyma.
Chest X Ray
Chest radiography is the initial imaging modality in evaluation of pleural disease.[1] Lateral view is superior in detecting parapneumonic effusions and empyema compared to anteroposterior chest x ray.[2]
Chest X ray of empyema shows air-fluid level with continuous homogenous pattern from the mediastinum to the chest wall forming an obtuse angle with the lung parenchyma.
Bilateral lower lobe consolidation with unilateral lenticular shaped right sided
loculated pleural collection forming an obtuse angle(yellow angle in the figure above) with the chest wall. [3]
