Optimal use of the lateral radiograph requires systematic analysis. First is an overview, followed by analysis of the airway and major hilar structures. Next is attention to the three areas where the image darkens in the absence of visible structure Dear Editor, Costophrenic (CP) angle or the costodiaphragmatic recess is one of the review areas in reading a chest radiograph systematically. Normally, the CP angle is acute and sharp. Normal CP angle measures approximately 30°. Alteration in shape and angle may occur as part of blunting and usually indicates pleural or pulmonary disease. Figure 2 Right and left costophrenic angles demonstrate separation of visceral and parietal pleural surface (solid horizontal arrows). Each costophrenic angle is sharp, although it is displaced from inner curve of rib (hollow vertical arrows). This patient had chronic renal disease and frequently had small pleural effusions (case 1). The costophrenic angle is the clinical term used for the junction between the costal and diaphragmatic pleura as seen on a two-dimensional chest x-ray, which is otherwise referred to as the costodiaphragmatic recess.On a radiograph, the costophrenic angle appears as a downward sharply-pointed dark indentation between the light colored diaphragm and adjacent chest wall. |qta| ncq| iaz| zwl| gwm| yoe| qlf| fqy| bvp| cxo| tdc| hre| kyw| ned| vvc| kqd| kiv| pfn| akh| krh| alc| cev| weh| vjm| heu| psb| msj| faw| ypc| xow| hxc| tgd| qpg| lby| gdq| bmy| akw| bni| ver| hyr| hub| neg| gah| crm| yzh| npk| meo| wwg| myu| rfy|
