Overview
CT scan may be helpful when underlying cause of pleural effusion is not certain example in malignant pleural effusion. In most cases CT imaging may not provide additional information that would influence the clinical decision-making process.[1][2][3] Routine use of high-resolution chest CT is recommended for early diagnosis and timely treatment of pleural disease in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis.[4] CT scan shows heterogeneous opacification of the affected side and cardiomediastinal shift to the opposite site in unilateral effusion.[5]
