  • Title: Enhancement of collapsed lung: a potential pitfall in CT interpretation.
    Author: Davies SG, Turner MJ.
    Journal: Clin Radiol; 1990 Sep; 42(3):192-4. PubMed ID: 2208929.
    Abstract:
    In the presence of a pleural effusion there may be compression of adjacent lung causing segmental atelectasis. In some effusions minor degrees of atelectasis give rise to a fine rim of enhancing lung on computerized tomographic (CT) examination which should not be misinterpreted as extravasated contrast from aortic or oesophageal lumen.
