Pleural effusion,X-ray. This is a condition in which liquid accumulates in the lining of the chest cavity. It is seen here as the large white area in lower frame,which would be black in a healthy person. The liquid compresses the lung,which leads to breathing difficulties. In this case,the effusion was caused by a broken rib (not clearly seen). It is treated by aspiring (draining) the fluid,which relieves the pressure | |
