Overview
Chest CT scan is more sensitive than chest x-ray and may be helpful in the diagnosis of pneumothorax. Findings on CT scan suggestive of pneumothorax include small pneumothoraces, pneumomediastinum, and blebs.
CT scan
- Chest CT scan is more sensitive than chest x-ray and may be helpful in the diagnosis of recurrent pneumothorax. Findings on CT scan suggestive of pneumothorax include:[1][2]
- Small pneumothoraces
- Pneumomediastinum
- Blebs; number and size
- Predicts the rate of recurrence in patients with spontaneous pneumothorax
