Abstract
OBJECTIVE. This study describes the CT appearance of the pleural space after talc pleurodesis. CONCLUSION, After talc pleurodesis, the pleur al space reveals variable degrees of pleural thickening and nodularity , often with a residual loculated effusion. High-attenuation areas rep resenting talc deposits are expected and should not be confused with o ther pleural abnormalities.
