How to asses cardiac size
We take 2 lines the between borders of cardiac shadow and 2 lines
between the inner surface of thoracic cage and the ribs
Cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) =
Cardiac Width : Thoracic Width
A CTR of greater than 1:2 (50%) is considered abnormal.

heart have close similar appearance to broncho pneumonia
The important Golden Key differentiation is the cardiac size being
enlarged in pulmonary edema .
‫من المحاضرة‬
 Septal lines, also known as Kerley lines, are seen when the
interlobular septa in the pulmonary interstitium become
prominent. This may be because of lymphatic engorgement or
edema of the connective tissues of the interlobular septa. They
usually occur when pulmonary capillary wedge pressures reach 2025 mmHg
 Classification
 Kerley A lines
 These are 2-6 cm long oblique lines that are <1 mm thick and
course towards the hila. They represent thickening of the
interlobular septa
 Kerley B lines
 These are 1-2 cm thin lines in the peripheries of the lung. They are
perpendicular to and extend out to the pleural surface . They
represent thickened sub pleural interlobular septa and are usually
seen at the lung bases.
