Chest radiography is essential for diagnosing pulmonary embolism, though it rarely confirms it. This review highlights key radiographic findings and the chest X-ray

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Pulmonary embolism (PE) diagnosis relies on multiple imaging modalities.
  • Chest radiography is a common initial test for patients with suspected PE.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the role of chest radiography in evaluating pulmonary embolism.
  • To describe characteristic radiographic abnormalities associated with PE.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on chest radiography in PE.
  • Analysis of radiographic findings in confirmed PE cases.

Main Results:

  • Chest radiographs are often normal or show nonspecific findings in PE.
  • Specific abnormalities like atelectasis, pleural effusion, and elevated hemidiaphragm can suggest PE.

Conclusions:

  • Chest radiography is crucial for excluding other conditions and can provide supportive evidence for PE.
  • Radiographic findings, while not definitive, guide further diagnostic workup for pulmonary embolism.
