Overview

On X-ray imaging, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may be characterized by different features regarding the present complication. The most common characteristic findings of SLE in X-ray include thumb printing sign in the abdominal X ray, blunting of the costophrenic angle due to pleural effusion, cardiomegaly, hepatomegaly, osteoprosis, tenosinovitis, and other manifestations based on the complications.

X Ray

Findings on an X ray imaging for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) depends on the organ system involvement and may include the following features.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11]^[12]

More common findings

Organ	Disease	Description	Preview
Gastrointestinal system	Enteritis	Small bowel wall thickening Thumbprinting sign	Adapted from Radiopaedia
Pulmonary involvement	Pleural effusion	Lateral decubitus view: Visible small amounts of fluid layering against the dependent parietal pleura PA and AP CXR: Blunting of the costophrenic angle Blunting of the cardiophrenic angle Fluid within the horizontal or oblique fissures Mediastinal shifts with large amounts of fluid	Adapted from Radiopaedia
	Pulmonary fibrosis	Diffuse increased interstitial markings Reduce in lung volume Pulmonary nodularity may be seen Shaggy outline to the heart Due to adjacenet lung fibrosis so the outline of the heart is less well delineated Tracheomegaly	Adapted from Radiopaedia

Less common findings

Cardiac involvement	Mitral regurgitation	Left atrial enlargement Convexity or straightening of the left atrial appendage just below the main pulmonary artery (along with left heart border) Double density sign: An addition contour superimposed over the right heart due to left atrium enlargement Elevation of the left main bronchus and splaying of the carina Upper zone venous enlargement due to pulmonary hypertension Left ventricular enlargement is also eventually present due to volume overload	Adapted from Radiopaedia
Cardiac involvement	Pericardial effusion	Globular enlargement of the cardiac shadow giving a water bottle configuration Anteroposterior CXR: Enlarged cardiac silhouette Lateral CXR: Vertical opaque line (pericardial fluid) separating a vertical lucent line directly behind sternum (epicardial fat) anteriorly	Adapted from Radiopaedia
