Abstract

The most commonly employed radiologic method in diagnosis of pleural diseases is conventional chest radiograph. The commonest chestX-Ray findings are the presence of pleural effusion and thickening. Small pleural effusions are not readily identified on posteroanterior chest radiograph. However, lateral decubitus chest radiograph and chest ultrasonography may show small pleural effusions. These are more efficient methods than posteroanterior chest radiograph in the erect position for demonstrating small amounts of free pleural effusions. Chest ultrasonograph may be able to help in distinguishing the pleural pathologies from parenchymal lesions. On chest radiograph pleural effusions or pleural thickening may obscure the visibility of the underlying disease or parenchymal abnormality. Thus, computed tomography (CT) may provide additional information of determining the extent and severity of pleural disease and may help to differentiate malign pleural lesions from the benign ones. Moreover, CT may provide the differentiation of parenchmal abnormalities from pleural pathologies. CT (coronal and sagittal reformatted images) that also show invasion of chest wall, mediastinum and diaphragm, as well as enlarged hilar or mediastinal lymph nodes. Standart non-invasive imaging techniques may be supplemented with magnetic resonans imaging (MRI).

Özet

Plevra kaynaklı patolojilerin değerlendirilmesinde kullanılan birincil tanı yöntemi konvansiyonel akciğer radyografisidir. Sıklıkla görülen plevra patolojisi plevral kalınlaşma ve efüzyondur. Arka ön akciğer radyografisi (PA, posteroanterior) küçük miktardaki plevral efüzyonu göstermeyebilir. Lateral dekübitus radyografisi ve toraks ultrasonografisi (USG) az miktardaki plevral efüzyonu ortaya koymada daha etkin yöntemlerdir. PA radyografide tek taraflı homojen yoğunluk artışı gösteren olgularda toraks ultrasonografisi plevral ve parankimal patolojilerin ayırıcı tanısında yararlı bilgiler vermektedir. Akciğer radyografisinde saptanan plevral efüzyon veya kalınlaşma altta yatan hastalığı veya parankimal patolojiyi gizleyebilir. Bu nedenle bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) plevral hastalığın yaygınlığını ve nedenini ortaya koymada yararlı bilgiler sağlamaktadır. BT(koronal ve sagital reformat görüntüler) plevral kalınlaşma veya efüzyonla birlikte bulunan parankimal lezyonların ayırt edilmesini sağlayabilir. Ayrıca BT göğüs duvarı, mediasten ve diyafragma invazyonunu, hiler ve/veya mediastinal lezyonları ayrıntılı olarak gösterebilir. Manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) standart noninvaziv yöntemlerin yetersiz kaldığı olgularda tamamlayıcı yöntem olarak kullanılabilir.
