PA Projection - PA(scapula retracted)
Rotation - spinous processes (orange line) not central between clavicles (green lines)
Inclusion/Inspiration/Penetration - adequate
Massive right pleural effusion with - 'white out' - 'meniscus sign' (arrow)
Mediastinal shift? - assessment difficult due to rotation - but the right main bronchus is displaced (asterisk)
Cannot comment on heart size - as right heart border not visible
Projection - PA
Rotation/Inclusion/Inspiration/Penetration - all adequate
Chest drain in situ (red tube)
Large pneumothorax (*) - no evidence of tension
Residual effusion with 'meniscus sign' - one edge appears horizontal (orange line) due to direct interface of pleural fluid with air
Correct term therefore 'hydropneumothorax'
Cannot comment on heart size - as right heart border not visible
