Wink Clear CT + Bone, but heart?

I breathed a big sigh of relief - everything looks good. I also got a tumor count score thingy - which was only 11. I do have a question which I did a search on with wildly different results so back to the experts...
I have a small pericardial effusion - anyone have any knowledge of this? It seems it can be nothing or serious, my Onc didn't even think it was worth mentioning but you know me - little miss "knowledge is a good thing"...

Thought I would see if anyone here has had any experience with it. thanks!
