Knuckle sign is a radiologic sign used for diagnosing pulmonary embolism.[1][2] The presence of a blood clot in the branch of a pulmonary artery can resemble a knuckle in CT and X-ray images, which is why it is called knuckle sign.[3] It is frequently seen along with other signs of pulmonary embolism, such as the Fleischner sign and Westermark sign.[2]
