To analyze a CT scan of the chest, imagine that the patient is lying on his back and you are at the foot of the patient’s bed.

Computed tomography, CT, chest, chest structures, Chest CT scan

In order to identify the structures of the chest, it is important to determine the orientation (right, left parts of the image, anterior and dorsal – posterior structures).

Depending on the location (upper mediastinum, lower mediastinum), the presence of certain structures of the mediastinum will be determined.

The border between the upper and lower mediastinum passes at the height of the IV thoracic vertebra dorosally and ventrally – the Lewis angle (between the manubrium and the body of the sternum).

]]> According to the radiograph of the chest, the boundaries of the heart are formed:

  • The right border of the heart is the superior vena cava, the right atrium. The anterior wall of the heart is the right ventricle.
  • Left border of the heart – aortic arch, left pulmonary artery, left atrium, left ventricle
  • The lower border of the heart is the left ventricle.

  • The right border extends between the margin of the third right costal cartilage to the sixth right costal cartilage just to the right of the sternum.
  • The left border extends between the fifth left intercostal space to the second left costal cartilage.
  • The inferior border extends from the sixth right costal cartilage to the fifth left intercostal space at the midclavicular line.
  • The superior border extends from the inferior margin of the second left costal cartilage to the superior margin of the third costal cartilage.
