Many diseases affect the pleural space in both adults and children, including common diseases such as pneumonia, cancer and heart failure. Pleural effusion is the most common manifestation of pleural disease, and it is often a secondary effect of another disease process. Imaging plays a crucial role in the management of pleural disease. Chest radiography often remains the first examination in the assessment of these patients. Depending on the clinical context, the optimal imaging technique for further evaluation might be computed tomography (CT), ultrasound (US), or magnetic resonance (MR).
许多疾病会影响成人和儿童的胸膜腔,包括肺炎、癌症和心力衰竭等常见疾病。胸腔积液是胸膜疾病最常见的表现,它通常是另一种疾病过程的继发效应。影像学在胸膜疾病的管理中起着至关重要的作用。胸部X线摄影通常仍是评估这些患者的首要检查。根据临床情况,进一步评估的最佳影像学技术可能是计算机断层扫描(CT)、超声(US)或磁共振(MR)。
