Compressive Atelectasis and Complex Pleural Effusions
46 year-old female with bilateral pleural effusions, left greater than right. The scout film prior to the CT scan shows a left retrocardiac consolidation and a suggestion of a left sided complex pleural effusion. The liver appears enlarged.

46-year-old female with bilateral pleural effusions, left greater than right. Axial CT shows bilateral pleural effusions. The flattening of the posterior surface of the right lung and the sparing of the anterior segment of the left lower lobe suggests differing pressures on the lung parenchyma by the effusions and indicating bilateral loculation.

Compressive Atelectasis and Complex Pleural Effusions
46-year-old female with bilateral pleural effusions, left greater than right. Axial CT shows bilateral pleural effusions. The undulating shape of the posterior surface of the posterior aspects of the lungs bilaterally suggests differing pressures on the lung parenchyma by the effusion and indicating loculation. There is sparing of the superior segments of the lower lobes bilaterally which both showing aeration
