Cavity II: This cavity was present from outside of the right upper lobe to the interlobar space between upper and lower lobes, in which a chest drainage tube has been inserted. Axial view (a), coronal view (b), and sagittal view (c) of chest CT findings at admission. Preoperative CT shows empyema cavity with some air bubbles and thickened peel (c). Intraoperative CBCT after initial debridement shows insufficiently dissected cavity (d, arrow). Additional debridement resulted in successful shrinkage of the empyema cavity 2 weeks postoperatively (e, arrow)
