Sequence of X ray reading = 5Ds 

-  Detect

-  Differential diagnosis 
-  Discuss 
-  Diagnosis 

Slide 13 

How to assess cardiac size?? 

We take 2 lines the between borders of cardiac shadow and 2 lines between the inner 
surface of thoracic cage and the ribs 

 Cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) =

 

 Cardiac Width : Thoracic Width

 

 

A CTR of greater than 1:2 (50%) is considered abnormal. 

Slide 14 

Right cardiac border =right atrium 

Left cardiac border= left ventricle 

Slide 15 

CXR of adult male  , PA view shows:

lung and creates an addition contour superimposed over the right heart. 

Diagnosis= mitral valve disease

edema. 

: من المحاضرة

Septal lines, also known as Kerley lines, are seen when the interlobular septa in the 
pulmonary interstitium become prominent. This may be because of lymphatic engorgement 
or edema of the connective tissues of the interlobular septa. They usually occur when 
pulmonary capillary wedge pressures reach 20-25 mmHg 

Classification 

Kerley A lines 

These are 2-6 cm long oblique lines that are <1 mm thick and course towards the hila. They 
represent thickening of the interlobular septa  

Kerley B lines 

These are 1-2 cm thin lines in the peripheries of the lung. They are perpendicular to  and 
extend out to the pleural surface . They represent thickened sub pleural interlobular septa 
and are usually seen at the lung bases.

Normal chest x-Ray

 

Chest x-ray  ,P-A view  of adult male 
showing:

 
 

 normal anatomy  of hilar region. Each 
hilum contains major bronchi and 
pulmonary vessels

 

There are also lymph nodes on each 
side(not visible unless abnormal)

 

The left hilum is often higher than the 
right

 

Both hila should be of similar size and 
density. If either hilum is bigger and more 
dense, this is a good indication that there 
is an abnormality.

Photo on the right: 

Normal cardiac shadow, cardiothoracic ratio is less than 50% 

Photo on the left: 

Increase cardiac shadow 

Cardiothoracic ratio is more than 50% 

Diagnosis= cardiomegaly 

 

    

 

 

 CXR of adult, PA views show: 

  Bilateral patchy opacities in both lung fields with enlarged cardic shadow  

Kerley lines are seen  


background image

Diagnosis=interstitial pulmonary edema 

Note: 

Classification of kerley lines: 

Kerley A lines 

These are 2-6 cm long oblique lines that are <1 mm thick and course towards the hila. They 
represent thickening of the interlobular septa  

Kerley B lines 

These are 1-2 cm thin lines in the peripheries of the lung. They are perpendicular to  and 
extend out to the pleural surface . They represent thickened sub pleural interlobular septa 
and are usually seen at the lung bases.  

 

CXR of a child , PA view shows: 

Cardiomegaly with egg on string sign cardiac contour, There is narrowing of the superior 
mediastinum . 

Diagnosis= transposition of great blood vessels 

 

CXR of adult, PA view shows: 

Bilateral upper lobe venous diversion in favour of pulmonary venous hypertension 

Diagnosis= pulmonary venous hypertension
