Radiologic imaging of the pleura has undergone dramatic changes in the past 5 years. This can be primarily attributed to the availability and better understanding of computed tomography and, to a lesser extent, ultrasonography. When used in the proper clinical-radiologic environment, abnormalities of the pleural space can be quickly identified, localized, and often diagnosed in a rapid efficient manner.
