Big rib sign

Dr Henry Knipe and Dr M Venkatesh et al.
The big rib sign is a sign to differentiate right and left ribs on lateral chest radiographs.
It exploits a technique of magnification differences on lateral projections between right and left
ribs. For example, on right lateral projections the left ribs appear larger than right ribs.
This sign can be useful but may be difficult to appreciate as the difference in size between ribs is
~10% and is not applicable when the posterior ribs are superimposed.

Coin lesion
Dr Henry Knipe et al.
Coin lesion refers to a round or oval, well-circumscribed solitary pulmonary lesion. It is

typically 1-5 cm in diameter and calcification may or may not be present 1,3. Typically but not
always the patient is asymptomatic 1.
Differential diagnosis
1-3
The differential diagnosis for such lesions is :
primary lung malignancy - e.g. squamous cell carcinoma

metastases
infection
o pulmonary tuberculosis;
o Streptococcus sp., Staphlycoccus sp., or Klebisialla sp. infection
o hydatid cyst
o abscess
benign disease processes
o Wegener's granulomatosis
o pulmonary hamartoma
o pulmonary arteriovenous malformation
o rheumatoid nodule
o bronchogenic cyst
o bronchial adenoma
Take care not to call a "pseudo-coin lesion", which are caused by artifacts (e.g. button on
patient's clothing, unilateral nipple shadow, etc).

Dense hilum sign
Dr Henry Knipe and Dr Paresh K Desai et al.
The dense hilum sign suggests a pathological process at the hilum - hilar malignancy or
bronchogenic carcinoma should be suspected.
On a well-centred chest PA radiograph the density of the hilum is comparable on both sides. In
absence of calcification or adenopathy, the hila should appear of equal density and be symmetric.

Double density sign of left atrial enlargement
Dr Jeremy Jones and Dr Frank Gaillard et al.
A double-density sign is seen on frontal chest radiographs in the presence of left atrial
enlargement, and occurs when the right side of the left atrium pushes behind the right cardiac
shadow, indenting the adjacent lung and forming its own distinct silhouette 1-3.
If large enough it can actually reach beyond the border of the right atrium; this is known as atrial
escape.3 The right superior pulmonary vein can lead to a similar appearance 1

Extrapleural sign
Dr Henry Knipe and Dr Matt Skalski et al.
The extrapleural sign, described by Felson in 1973 1, refers to the appearance of a pulmonary
opacity with oblique margins that taper slowly to the chest wall when the lesion is viewed
tangentially to the x-ray beam. This appearance suggests that the lesion is extrapleural in nature,
as opposed to intrapulmonary where an acute angle would be expected as the lesion meets the
lung periphery. This term may be confused with extrapleural air sign which refers to a different
finding.

Hilum overlay sign
Dr Henry Knipe and Dr Frank Gaillard et al.
The hilum overlay sign refers to an appearance on frontal chest radiographs of patients with a
mass projected at the level of the hilum which is in fact either anterior or posterior to the hilum.
When a mass arises from the hilum, the pulmonary vessels are in contact with the mass and as
such their silhouette is obliterated. The ability to see the edges of the vessels through the mass
implies that the mass is not contacting the hilum, and is therefore either anterior or posterior to it.
Most of these masses are found to be in the anterior mediastinum.
The sign was first described by Benjamin Felson 2.

Hilum convergence sign
Dr Henry Knipe and Dr Andrew Dixon et al.
The hilum convergence sign is a useful chest radiograph sign to help distinguish a bulky hilum
due to pulmonary artery dilatation from a mass/nodal enlargement. In the former, pulmonary
vessels can be seen to converge and join a dilated pulmonary artery.
The sign was first described by Benjamin Felson 2.

Golden S sign
Dr Frank Gaillard et al.
The Golden S sign is seen on both PA chest radiographs and on CT scans. It is named because
this sign resembles a reverse S shape, and is therefore sometimes referred to as the reverse S
sign of Golden.
Although typically seen with right upper lobe collapse, the S sign can also be seen with the
collapse of other lobes. It is created by a central mass obstructing the upper lobe bronchus and
should raise suspicion of a primary bronchogenic carcinoma. It can also be caused by other
central masses, such as: metastasis, primary mediastinal tumour, or enlarged lymph nodes.
Radiographic features
Chest radiographs
The Golden S sign is seen on frontal radiographs. In the most common situation, the appearance
is that of right upper lobar collapse (the right upper lobe appearing dense and shifting medially
and upwards) with a central mass expanding the hilum. These two changes together form a
reverse S shape.
Etymology
The sign was first described by R Golden in 1925 3.

Incomplete border sign
Dr Yuranga Weerakkody and Dr Charlie Chia-Tsong Hsu et al.
The incomplete border sign is useful to depict an extrapulmonary mass on chest radiograph.
An extrapulmonary mass will often have a inner well defined border and an ill-defined outer
margin 1-3. This can be attributed to the inner margin being tangential to the x-ray beam and has
good inherent contrast with the adjacent lung. On the other hand, the outer margin is enface or
partially enface with the x-ray beam and merges with the pleural or chest wall thus the border is
obscured.
Differential diagnosis for extrapulmonary mass can be further divided into pleural or
extrapleural.
Common pleural masses include:
loculated pleural collection

haematoma
pleural plaques
fibrous tumour of pleura
Extrapleural causes can arises from component of chest wall, bone/cartilage, nerve, vascular,
fat, muscle and skin. If there is sign of rib/bone involvement on chest radiograph the lesion is
most likely to be extrapleural. In adults, skeletal metastases are the most common malignant
chest wall neoplasm while chondrosarcoma is the most common primary malignant tumor.

Juxtaphrenic peak sign
Dr Henry Knipe and Dr Andrew Dixon et al.
The juxtaphrenic peak sign refers to the peaked or tented appearance of a hemidiaphragm
which can occur in the setting of lobar collapse. It is caused by retraction of the lower end of
diaphragm at an inferior accessory fissure (most common 1), major fissure or inferior pulmonary
ligament. It is commonly seen in upper lobe collapse but may also be seen in middle lobe
collapse.

Medial stripe sign
Dr Henry Knipe and Dr Aditya Shetty et al.
Medial stripe sign refers to an area of increased lucency at the interface of the medial lung and
the mediastinum in case of medial pneumothorax. A small volume of pneumothorax generally
accumulates anteriorly or medially which can be difficult to detect hence this sign holds a certain
significance.

More black sign
The more black sign is a normal finding in lateral chest x-ray, and refers to the gradual
increased apparent radiolucency (blackness) of the vertebral bodies, when proceeding from upper
to lower chest. This is due to the increased proportion of the chest comprised of air containing
lungs over distal dorsal spine compared to the upper parts.
When the air is displaced by higher attenuation material, such as consolidation, fluid or a mass
(e.g. bronchogenic carcinoma, paraspinal neurogenic tumour) then the lower dorsal vertebral
bodies become more radio-dense; this is referred to as the loss of the more back sign.

Naclerio's V sign
The Naclerio's V sign is a sign described on the plain film in patients with
a pneumomediastinum occurring often secondary to an oesophageal rupture.
It is seen as a V-shaped air collection. One limb of the V is produced by mediastinal air outlining
the left lower lateral mediastinal border. The other limb is produced by air between the parietal
pleura and medial left hemidiaphragm.
Although Naclerios V sign was originally described in patients with oesophageal

rupture, it is not entirely specific to that condition.

Shmoo sign
Dr Henry Knipe and Dr Sahith Reddy et al.
Shmoo sign refers to appearance of prominent, rounded left ventricle and dilated aorta on a plain AP
radiograph of chest giving the appearance of Shmoo, a fictional cartoon character in the comic strip Li'l
Abner in the 1940s. This signs indicates left ventricular hypertrophy
81
Silhouette sign
Dr Henry Knipe and Dr Ayush Goel et al.
Silhouette sign was first described by Drs Benjamin Felson and Henry Felson in 1950 1. The
name is somewhat of a misnomer and in the true sense actually denotes the loss of a silhouette,
thus it is sometimes also known as loss of silhouette sign or loss of outline sign 4.
The differential attenuation of x-ray photons by two adjacent structures defines the silhouette,
e.g. heart borders against the adjacent lung segments and it is the pathological loss of this
differentiation, which the silhouette sign refers to.
Radiographic appearance
Plain film
Recognition of this sign is useful in localising areas of airspace opacities, atelectasis or

mass within the lung, with the loss of these normal silhouettes on frontal chest radiographs being
generally indicative of the site of pathology 3, 4:
right paratracheal stripe - right upper lobe

right heart border - right middle lobe or medial right lower lobe
right hemidiaphragm - right lower lobe
aortic knuckle - left upper lobe

left heart border - lingula segments of the left upper lobe
left hemidiaphragm or descending aorta - left lower lobe
Sites of silhouette sign on the lateral chest radiograph include 3:
posterior border of the heart +/- posterior left hemidiaphragm - left lower lobe
anterior right hemidiaphragm - right middle lobe
posterior right hemidiaphragm - right lower lobe
The silhouette sign forms the basis of the hilum overlay sign, cerviothoracic sign and thoraco-
abdominal sign 2.
The presence of a silhouette sign may not be due to intra-pulmonary disease. For example 3, 4:
right heart border - pectus excavatum

posterior border of heart (lateral projection) - hiatus hernia

Cervico-thoracic sign
Dr Yuranga Weerakkody and Dr Omar Bashir et al.
The cervico-thoracic sign, a variant of the silhouette sign, believed to have been coined by
Benjamin Felson. It helps to discern the anterior or posterior location of mass in the superior
mediastinum on frontal chest radiographs.
As the anterior mediastinum ends at the level of the clavicles and as such the upper border an
anterior mediastinal lesions cannot be visualised extending above the clavicles. Any lesions with
a discernible upper border above that level must be located posteriorly in the chest; i.e apical
segments of upper lobes, pleura, or posterior mediastinum 3.

Cervicothoracic sign
84
Thoracoabdominal sign
Dr Henry Knipe and Dr Ayush Goel et al.
Thoracoabdominal sign is a chest x-ray sign probably coined by Benjamin Felson. It defines
the location of a thoracic lesion based on the fact that the posterior costophrenic sulcus extends
caudally than the anterior lung.
Thus a thoracic lesion which has its caudal end visible below the dome of diaphragm must be in
the posterior part.

Steeple sign
The steeple sign (also called wine bottle sign) refers to tapering of the upper trachea on a frontal
chest radiograph reminiscent of a church steeple. The appearance is suggestive of croup, which
should be obvious clinically. A corresponding lateral x-ray would show narrowing of the
subglottic trachea and ballooning of the hypopharynx.

Water bottle sign
The water bottle sign or configuration refers to the shape of the cardiac silhouette on erect
frontal chest x-rays in patients who have a very large pericardial effusion. Typically the effusion
has accumulated over many weeks to months (e.g. in patients with malignancy) and the
pericardium has gradually stretched. The fluid, often measuring a litre or more, causes the
pericardium to sag, mimicking an old-fashioned water bottle sitting on the bench.
