In this article, we explore the pathologic manifestations of some conditions that primarily or secondarily affect the pleura by comparing the chest radiography and CT findings side by side.
1 paź 2023 · Contrast-enhanced CT image demonstrates 4 CT findings of pleural thickening specific for malignancy: circumferential and nodular pleural thickening (arrow), parietal pleural thickening >1 cm, and involvement of the mediastinal pleural surface (arrowheads).
1 paź 2023 · CT can readily identify pleural fluid, measure its density, and assess for associated pleural thickening, nodularity, and presence of gas or calcification. Other pathologies such as pneumothorax, associated lung parenchymal process, or airway abnormality such as bronchopleural fistula can also be identified. 16
19 mar 2020 · The parietal pleura is contiguous with the chest wall and diaphragm and extends well below the level of the bases of the lungs, into the costophrenic angles. Thus pleural fluid collections in the costophrenic angles can be seen below the lung base and can mimic collections of fluid in the peritoneal cavity.
22 lip 2024 · Where is the pleura located? Your pleura: Lines your chest wall (thoracic wall). Extends around your heart to form the side walls of the middle section of your chest cavity (mediastinum). Covers the surface of your lungs. What are the parts of the pleura? A hollow area (pleural space) lies between the layers of your pleura.
1 gru 2013 · Inner chest cavity is lined by parietal pleural membrane Visceral and parietal pleura define the pleural space / cavity, which normally has minimal volume, unless lungs collapse or air / fluid collects between the 2 layers
23 lis 2010 · The parietal pleura lines the chest wall and extends onto the mediastinal and diaphragmatic surface but is absent at the hila. Between the two pleural surfaces, ≈8 mL of fluid is normally present, which allows free gliding of the two layers as the lungs and chest wall move during the respiratory cycle ( 4 ).
