Chest X Ray

A chest X-ray of a right sided pulmonary contusion associated with flail chest and subcutaneous emphysema. Contusion may mask pulmonary laceration on chest X-ray.

Pulmonary laceration may not be visible using chest X-ray because an associated pulmonary contusion or hemorrhage may mask it.
