title: Thoracic manifestations of liver disease.
abstract: The close proximity of the liver to the right lung may be the basis for thoracic changes that occur in the presence of lung disease, or such changes may occur as part of the natural course of the disease. Whatever the etiology, the selective use of plain film radiography, fluoroscopy, radionuclide scanning, gallium scanning, and computed tomography will facilitate diagnosis and management.
