| what view is used to minimize heart magnification | left lateral view |
| view used to see small amounts of pleural fluid | lateral decubitus |
| tube tilt for apical lordotic | 30 degree cephalic |
| view used to visualize the apices | apical lordotic |
| used to evaluate pneumothoraces and effusions | lateral decubitus |
| bifurcation of trachea | carina |
| horizontal fissure AKA | minor fissure |
| minor fissure only seen on the right | horizontal fissure |
| separates the right upper lobe from right middle lobe | horizontal fissure |
| fissure from sternum to RMF | horizontal fissure |
| separates the superior segment of lower lobe from remainder of lower lobe | superior accesory fissure |
| line extending horizontaly from posterior to L/R MF | superior accessory fissure |
| line found in apical region | azygous fissure |
| only seen on the right and only on frontal view | azygous fissure |
| separates the medial segment from remainder of lower lobe | inferior accessory fissure |
| separates R upper and middle lobes from R lower lobe | right major fissure |
| only seen in lateral views | major fissures |
| AKA for major fissure | oblique fissure |
| separates left upper lobe from left lower lobe | left major fissure |
| has 2 lobes | left lung |
| has 3 lobes | right lung |
| cardiothoracic ratio | < or = 1:2 |

| which hila is higher | left |
| mediasynum that contains the thymus gland and lymph nodes | anterior |
| mediastinum that contaons the descending aorta and esophagus | posterior |
| which hemidiaphragm is higher | right |
| what is the silhouette sign | two structures of similar density are indistinguishible on xray |
| funnel chest | pectus excavatum |
| pectus excavatum can cause | heart murmers |
