The most sensitive sign for a pericardial effusion on CXR is enlargement of the cardiac silhouette (cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) >50%) (Figure 1). This has reasonable sensitivity (71%), but low specificity (41%). Specificity increases as cardiomegaly increases (76% with CTR of 60%), but sensitivity falls.Sep 9, 2019

What is a small circumferential pericardial effusion?
