A knowledge of the normal anatomy as well as variations are significant for physicians in the assessment of chest radiographs.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of anatomical parameters and their measurement as seen on normal posteroanterior (PA) chest radiographs in a Turkish population.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Results: The frequency of anatomical parameters and their measurement with respect to the diaphragm is as follows: level (right side higher in 98%, left and right sides same level 2%), lobulation (88% absent, 12% present), eventration (98% absent, 2% present) and contour (90% smooth, 10% not smooth); level of hilum (right and left sides same level 52%, left side higher 36%, right side higher 12%); number of pairs of ribs (twelve 96%, unable to determine 4%); number of ribs superposing the lung parenchyma (seven 2%, eight 4%, nine 24%, ten 70%); distance from the lateral margin of the vertebral body to the aorta (16.44 ± 4.35 mm); angle between the vertebral body and the aorticopulmonary line (16.04 ± 3.110); the carina angle (58.46 ± 11.130) and the cardiothoracic ratio (38.75 ± 4.27).Conclusion: The data presented in this study may be useful in understanding normal thoracic structures.

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of anatomical parameters and their measurement as seen on normal posteroanterior (PA) chest radiographs in a Turkish population. Materials and Methods: We evaluated fifty normal PA chest radiographs of Turkish population adults. The frequency of anatomical parameters and their measurement with respect to the diaphragm was evaluated. Results: The frequency of anatomical parameters and their measurement with respect to the diaphragm is as follows: level (right side higher in 98%, left and right sides same level 2%), lobulation (88% absent, 12% present), eventration (98% absent, 2% present) and contour (90% smooth, 10% not smooth); level of hilum (right and left sides same level 52%, left side higher 36%, right side higher 12%); number of pairs of ribs (twelve 96%, unable to determine 4%); number of ribs superposing the lung parenchyma (seven 2%, eight 4%, nine 24%, ten 70%); distance from the lateral margin of the vertebral body to the aorta (16.44 ± 4.35 mm); angle between the vertebral body and the aorticopulmonary line (16.04 ± 3.110); the carina angle (58.46 ± 11.130) and the cardiothoracic ratio (38.75 ± 4.27).Conclusion: The data presented in this study may be useful in understanding normal thoracic structures. A knowledge of the normal anatomy as well as variations are significant for physicians in the assessment of chest radiographs.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı bir Türk populasyonunda normal posteroanterior (PA) göğüs radiyografisinde normal anatomik bulguların frekansı ve ölçülerinin tespit edilmesidir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Elli sağlıklı Türk erişkinin normal PA radyografileri değerlendirilmiştir. Anatomik parametrelerin sıklıkları ve diyaframa göre ölçümleri de değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Anatomik parametrelerin ve ölçümlerinin diaframa göre frekansları şöyleydi: Seviye (sağ taraf daha yüksek %98, eşit %2), lobulasyon (%88 yok, %12 var), evantrasyon (%98 yok, %2 var), kontür (%90 düzenli, %10 düzensiz), hilum seviyesi (eşit %52, sol yüksek %36, sağ yüksek %12), Kosta çifti sayıları (12; %96, tespit edilemeyen %4), akciğer parankimine süperpoze olan Kosta sayısı (yedi %2, sekiz %4, dokuz %24, on %70), vertebral cismin lateral kenarının aortaya olan uzaklığı (16,44±4.35 mm) vertebra cismi ve ve aortikopulmoner hat arası açı (16.04±3.110), karina açısı(58.46±11.130) ve kardiyotorasik oran (38.75 ± 4.27).Sonuç: Bu çalışmada sunulan veriler normal torasik yapıların anlaşılmasında katkı sağlayacaktır. Normal anatominin yanı sıra varyasyonlarının da bilinmesi hekimlerin göğüs radyografilerini değerlendirmeleri açısından önemlidir..
