Is the situs normal? The situs as defined by-
Stomach bubbleLiver shadowBronchial morphology of more horizontal and
short right bronchus

Situs inversus totalis and dextrocardia- rarely has heart disease
Mesocardia -commonly has c TGALeft-sided heart in situs inversus- has complex
heart disease. Apex -dome of diaphragm is lower on the side
of apex.

Is there a particular chamber enlargement ?
RA enlargement-Vertical height compared to height from aortic
arch to SVC-RA junctionlateral 3 spaces criteriaThe RV type- upturned apex e.g TOF LV type of apex -tricuspid atresia

Is the cardiac silhouette normal? L-posed aortaEnlarged thymus
![Page 9: Chest x rays vir](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58e827e81a28ab1b298b634d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What is the pulmonary blood flow—increased, decreased or normal?
Increased pulmonary blood flow - more than 5 end-on vessels in the lungs, or more than 3 in one lung.
The end-on vessels should be more than twice the size of an accompanying bronchus.
More than 6 vessels could be traced in the periphery in increased flow states.
![Page 10: Chest x rays vir](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58e827e81a28ab1b298b634d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Decreased flow - when the vessels are thin and small.
Less than 3 vessels are seen in the peripheryPulmonary conus and main arteries are not
prominent.

Is there PAH? How severe? In adults NORMAL descending branch of right pulmonary
artery- 9–14 mm in females.10–15 mm in males.
In children, the artery size larger than the trachea indicates enlargement.
Peripheral pruning—that is sudden taper of PA branches as it travels to periphery indicates PAH.
Pruning is seen in functional as well as organic PAH.

Is there PVH ? How severe? PVH is present when the PAWP >12 mm Hg. EqualizationCephalizationPerihilar haze Interstitial edema indicate progressively increasing
PVH. o Kerley lines generally indicate chronic severe PVH
![Page 13: Chest x rays vir](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58e827e81a28ab1b298b634d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Is there aortic arch abnormality? The aortic arch is identified by the impression on
trachea. A right aortic arch is commonly associated with VSD. A right arch and increased blood flow is typically seen
in truncus arteriosus. An inconspicuous aortic arch could mean double arch.Coarctation with arch hypoplasia.
![Page 14: Chest x rays vir](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58e827e81a28ab1b298b634d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Is there pulmonary parenchymal lesion—Infection Infarction Aspiration Hemorrhage Collapse
![Page 15: Chest x rays vir](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58e827e81a28ab1b298b634d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Is there asymmetry of findings, e.g. Decreased vasculature on one side? This could indicate ipsilateral pulmonary artery
stenosis.Pulmonary embolism.Anomalous pulmonary venous drainageLung disease.
Is there rib notching? Signs of previous surgery like rib regeneration?
![Page 16: Chest x rays vir](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58e827e81a28ab1b298b634d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Are there serial changes? The changes of pulmonary plethora diminish
but in Eisenmenger’s syndrome

COMMON ERRORS
Following are the common errors seen in day-to-day clinical practice:
Spurious cardiomegaly due to expiratory film. Wrong assessment of lung vasculature due to
over- and underpenetration (underpenetration increases lung vasculature and vice versa)
Rotation of film leading to wrong interpretation of cardiac silhouette or hilum.
![Page 19: Chest x rays vir](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58e827e81a28ab1b298b634d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Missing a spinal deformity causing cardiomegaly, or altered silhouette.
Over-relying on patterns without taking into account the sensitivity and specificity of a finding- e.g RA dilatation, type of apex (RV or LV), egg-on-side pattern for TGA.
![Page 20: Chest x rays vir](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58e827e81a28ab1b298b634d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Misunderstanding PVH for pulmonary plethora can lead to misclassification of the disease.
Wrong reading of hilar shadows is frequent cause of errors.
Many a times, dilated PAs have been interpreted as lymph nodes and patients prescribed antitubercular treatment.
Not paying enough attention to lungs e.g infiltration, or military shadows missed or over-read.
![Page 21: Chest x rays vir](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58e827e81a28ab1b298b634d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Misinterpretation of normal but infrequent seen structures such as the azygous lobe, diaphragmatic humps, atypical thymus shadow, etc.
![Page 22: Chest x rays vir](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58e827e81a28ab1b298b634d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
TOF with absent pulmonary valve -Dilated main pulmonary artery The pulmonary vasculature is not markedly decreased and may be normal or increased
![Page 23: Chest x rays vir](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58e827e81a28ab1b298b634d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
TOF - markedly decreased lung vasculature and pulmonary bay and right aortic arch
![Page 24: Chest x rays vir](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58e827e81a28ab1b298b634d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
TOF and endocarditis. Note the infiltration in the lungs due to septic emboli from the right-sided vegetations. The boot-shaped heart and decreased pulmonary blood flow is seen
![Page 25: Chest x rays vir](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58e827e81a28ab1b298b634d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Tricuspid atresia with decreased pulmonary blood flow. LV type of apex. note the left SVC.
![Page 26: Chest x rays vir](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58e827e81a28ab1b298b634d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Corrected transposition of great vessels. Note the mesocardia, and shadow of L-posed aorta. Pulmonary artery shadow is not distinctly seen and is behind the aortic shadow.
![Page 27: Chest x rays vir](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58e827e81a28ab1b298b634d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Note the figure-of-8 shadow and increased pulmonary blood flow from supracardiac TAPVC that is not obstructed (A thymic shadow can sometime mimic this, but then the pulmonary blood flow will be normal)
![Page 28: Chest x rays vir](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58e827e81a28ab1b298b634d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Typical sail-like thymic shadow in a normal infant

Truncus arteriosus. Note cardiomegaly and increased pulmonary blood flow. The main pulmonary artery is not in normal place. Rt PA origin seems high. A right arch would have made the diagnosis easy but is not present
![Page 30: Chest x rays vir](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58e827e81a28ab1b298b634d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

TOF and cardiomegaly due to severe anemia. Cardiomegaly does not occur in all lesions of “TOF physiology” unless complicated by other things
![Page 35: Chest x rays vir](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58e827e81a28ab1b298b634d/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Typical ground-glass appearance in a neonate from obstructed infracardiac TAPVC. The angiogram shows the descending vertical vein going below the diaphragm

Increased vasculature in VSDPAH, peripheral pruning, dilated right descending PA, and prominent main PA.
![Page 37: Chest x rays vir](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58e827e81a28ab1b298b634d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Eisenmenger’s syndrome due to ASD, VSD, and PDA . Note the massive dilatation of pulmonary arteries, cardiomegaly and small aorta shadow in ASD. The PDA Eisenmenger (right) is remarkable for prominent aorticopulmonary shadow. Sometimes a ductal calcification may be seen in the area between aorta and dilated PA. Eisenmenger VSD (middle) shows PAH but neither cardiomegaly nor prominent aorta
