Normal CXR

It is always useful to have a normal CXR in your imaging library. Some of the measurements/numbers to remember are:

  • Inspiratory effort: adequate if 8 - 10 posterior or 6 anterior ribs visible
  • Right paratracheal stripe: < 4 mm
  • Right descending pulmonary artery: < 17 mm
  • Azygos vein: < 10 mm
  • Heart size: < 50% thorax width
