Özet

Chest X-Ray is more widely used than any other radiological method to detect any pleuro-parenchymal condition. Some findings can help physicians to evaluate pleural conditions like pleural effusion. To avoid any unprecedented iatrogenic event, surgeons should always keep in mind other differential diagnoses that can present similar to pleural effusion on chest X-Ray images.
