Overview
Ultrasound
Thoracic ultrasound have greater sensitivity in detecting pleural effusions than clinical examination or chest radiographs (AP or lateral).[1] Thoraxic ultrasound is the next prefered imaging test after chest xray.[2][1]
Ultrasound in empyema is positive for suspended microbubble sign, air fluid level, curtains sign and loss of gliding sign.[3]
