Trachea Patient’s PA CXR Normal PA CXR (-) tracheal deviation (-) flattening of the R&L hemidiaphragm (-) pulmonary congestion (-) blunting of the costophrenic angle (-) bone deformities (-) pulmonary infiltrates
Patient’s PA CXR Normal PA CXR (+) heart enlargement Slight straightening of the L cardiac border
Normal PA CXR Normal location of the apex: 5th ICS, MCL
Patient’s PA CXR The patient’s apex is located on the 7th ICS MCL – DOWNWARD DISPLACEMENT OF THE APEX
Cardio-thoracic Ratio Normal PA CXR Patient’s PA CXR
Which chamber/s is/are enlarged? Normal LVE LAE LAE & LVE (in long-standing MS) 1 – R brachiocephalic vessels 2 – Ascending aorta and superimposed SVC 3 – R atrium 5 – L brachiocephalic vessels 6 – Aortic arch 7 – Pulmonary trunk 8 – L atrial appendage 9 – L ventricle Squire’s Fundamentals of Radiology, 6th ed.
