On X-ray imaging, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may be characterized by different features regarding the present complication. The most common characteristic findings of SLE in X-ray include [[Thumbprinting|thumb printing sign]] in the abdominal X ray, blunting of the [[costophrenic angle]] due to [[pleural effusion]], [[cardiomegaly]], [[hepatomegaly]], [[Osteoporosis|osteoprosis]], tenosinovitis, and other manifestations based on the complications. | |||

Overview
On X-ray imaging, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may be characterized by different features regarding the present complication. The most common characteristic findings of SLE in X-ray include thumb printing sign in the abdominal X ray, blunting of the costophrenic angle due to pleural effusion, cardiomegaly, hepatomegaly, osteoprosis, tenosinovitis, and other manifestations based on the complications.
