6 shows the principles of magnification and the criteria for recognizing how a film was obtained. Be sure that the film is properly exposed or the digital image is windowed and leveled properly (Figs. 8). You can tell this on the frontal film by examining the vertebral column behind the heart. If you can see the detailed spine and pedicle through the heart and can also see the pulmonary vessels in the peripheral lung, the exposure is correct. If you see only the spine but not the pulmonary vessels, the film is too dark (overexposed).
Nonetheless, evaluating the contour of the heart in an older child where the thymus is smaller can be valuable. In young children the left atrial appendage is not a prominent bulge on the left side because it is usually obscured by even a small thymus. The pulmonary artery, however, may be prominent normally in adolescents (especially girls). Pulmonary vascular changes, on the other hand, may give a clue to the exact nature of the cardiac disease. Normally one sees pulmonary vessels in the hila and the middle third of the lungs but not in the more peripheral portion.
The walls should be parallel and smooth. However, buckling of the trachea to the right in the lower neck and upper thorax is normal in an infant. The in- In the mediastinum, look for position, size, and contour of the individual components. The initial examination of the mediastinum is best accomplished by the plain film. However, for most abnormalities or questions of abnormality, MR or CT is utilized. Therefore in this discussion of the mediastinum plain film findings are followed by cross-sectional imaging.
