The chest x-ray shows hyperinflation of the lungs including prominent pulmonary vascular markings, flattening of the diaphragm, and fluid in the horizontal fissure of the right lung. Signs and symptoms
A chest radiograph, chest X-ray ... The minor fissure can sometimes be seen on the right as a thin horizontal line at the level of the fifth or sixth rib.
On radiological studies, a pleural pseudotumor is visualized as a biconcave or lenticular lesion using conventional chest x-rays and CT scans. The lesion is most commonly located in the minor (horizontal) fissure of the lung. A pleural pseudotumor is also associated with the presence of dependent pleural effusions. [9]
A horizontal interlobar fissure was found to be incomplete in 25% of right lungs, or even absent in 11% of all cases. An accessory fissure was also found in 14% and 22% of left and right lungs, respectively. [47] An oblique fissure was found to be incomplete in 21% to 47% of left lungs. [48]
Hydropneumothorax is defined as the presence of both air and fluid within the pleural space. [1] An upright chest x-ray will show air fluid levels. The horizontal fluid level is usually well defined and extends across the whole length of one of the hemithorax.
Typically, an area of white lung is seen on a standard X-ray. [5] Consolidated tissue is more radio-opaque than normally aerated lung parenchyma, so that it is clearly demonstrable in radiography and on CT scans. Consolidation is often a middle-to-late stage feature/complication in pulmonary infections.
Horizontal fissure may refer to: Horizontal fissure of cerebellum; Horizontal fissure of right lung; See also. Fissure (anatomy) Sulcus (morphology)
A section on what is expected on a normal chest x ray would be useful e.g. what each part of the cardiac silhouette represents, how many rib spaces should be seen on a good inspiration film, where should the horizontal fissure be etc **HH** —Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.130.36.43 08:40, 17 December 2008 (UTC) I disagree.
