Sample Report
Moderate-sized right pleural effusion which freely layers on the right-side-down decubitus view.
Hazy right basilar opacification is favored to represent a combination of layering pleural fluid and atelectasis.
Discussion
- In most cases, place the side you want to evaluate down when doing decubitus views to determine whether or not a pleural effusion is loculated. Occasionally, however, the opposite decubitus view can also provide useful information
