Sensitive most investigation to detect minimal intraperitoneal free air

A
Standing x-ray abdomen
B
Right lateral decubitus x-ray
C
Chest x-ray
D
Left lateral decubitus x-ray
High-Yield Explanation
Although as little as 1 ml of free gas can be demonstrated radiographically, either in chest PA or a left lateral decubitus abdominal film, CT is superior to plain radiographs in detecting minute quantities of pneumoperitoneum. Chest PA view is more sensitive than even a left lateral decubitus abdominal film.
