Imaging plays a major role in both the detection and management of pleural space infections. This review will summarize the techniques that are useful in the detection and localization of pleural abnormalities due to infection, including the interventional procedures that can be used to aspirate and drain complicated parapneumonic effusions. While the pleural changes induced by most infectious agents are non-specific, some radiographic patterns may narrow the diagnostic possibilities. The "diagnostic" radiographic findings that are useful, in conjunction with the clinical presentation, in suggesting a specific causative agent will be reviewed.
影像学在胸膜腔感染的检测与管理中都发挥着重要作用。本综述将总结有助于检测和定位感染所致胸膜异常的技术，包括可用于抽吸和引流复杂性类肺炎性胸腔积液的介入操作。虽然大多数感染因子引起的胸膜改变是非特异性的，但一些影像学表现可能会缩小诊断范围。本文将结合临床表现，对有助于提示特定病原体的“诊断性”影像学表现进行综述。
