Why the study?
Does a supine cross-table lateral chest roentgenogram improve the detection of pericardial effusion compared to a standard chest roentgenogram in patients with suspected pericardial effusion?

The incremental diagnostic value of a supine cross-table lateral chest roentgenogram over a standard two-view chest roentgenogram for detecting pericardial effusion may be limited in clinical practice.
