A detailed understanding of the structures that make up the normal contours of the heart and mediastinum (cardiomediastinal contour) on chest radiography is essential if abnormalities are to be detected.
Frontal view (PA/AP)
Right cardiomediastinal contour
From superior to inferior:
- right paratracheal stripe
- seen in two thirds of normal films
- made up of right brachiocephalic vein and SVC
- arch of the azygous vein
- ascending aorta in older individuals often projects to the right of the SVC
- superior vena cava (SVC)
- right atrium
- inferior vena cava (IVC)
Left cardiomediastinal contour
From superior to inferior:
- left paratracheal stripe
- made up of left common carotid artery, left subclavian artery and the left jugular vein
- aortic arch +/- aortic nipple (left superior intercostal vein)
- pulmonary trunk
- auricle of left atrium
- left ventricle
Lateral view
Anterior cardiomediastinal contour
From superior to inferior:
- superior mediastinum
- great vessels
- thymus
- ascending aorta
- right ventricular outflow tract
- right ventricle
Posterior cardiomediastinal contour
From superior to inferior:
- left atrium and pulmonary veins
- left ventricle
- inferior vena cava
