pleuritis sequelae
sequelae is a Latin word but it is used in English medical writing to mean consequences or after-effects.

In this context, it would mean that even if there was no pleural effusion, it would still be possible to see some evidence of there having been pleuritis in the scan.

@Barend: Although in principle, there is no reason why one could not use sequela, in practice, in all my years of medical secretarial work and translating, I have never come across this term used in the singular. Even where the singular is appropriate, the tendency is to say "one of the sequelae" because a condition almost invariably has sequelae in the plural. And yes, sequelae of pleurisy would be the preferred order in which to write it, provided you have the space. However, in cramped medical documents, where space is lacking, you can get away with pleurisy sequelae.

More context?
A sequela (UK /sɨˈkwiːlə/,[1] US /sɨˈkwɛlə/;[2][3] usually used in the plural, sequelae) is a pathological condition resulting from a disease, injury, therapy, or other trauma. Typically, a sequela is, in medical language, a chronic condition that is a complication of an acute condition that begins during that acute condition. In ordinary language it may be described as a further condition that is different to, but a consequence of, the first condition. In timing a sequela contrasts with a late effect, where there is a period, sometimes as long as several decades, between the resolution of the initial condition and the appearance of the late effect.
Some conditions may be diagnosed retrospectively from their sequelae. An example is pleurisy.
