Although several new imaging modalities have been developed, plain chest-film examination remains the diagnostic procedure of choice for diagnosis and followup of spontaneous pneumothorax. Perfect chest radiographs and additional conventional tomography or fluoroscopy show complicating tension signs and in several cases can clarify the etiology. Other imaging modalities, such as digital radiography, CT, and MR modalities, are of limited value, but may be helpful to stage complicated findings. Radionuclide studies and Ultrasound may be helpful in special cases.
尽管已经开发了几种新的成像方式，但胸部平片检查仍然是自发性气胸诊断和随访的首选诊断方法。完美的胸部X光片以及额外的传统断层扫描或荧光透视检查可显示并发症的张力征象，在某些情况下还可以明确病因。其他成像方式，如数字放射摄影、CT和MR成像，价值有限，但可能有助于对复杂的检查结果进行分期。放射性核素研究和超声检查在特殊情况下可能会有帮助。
