    This allows for the detection of a pneumothorax with the absence of normal ‘lung-sliding’ and ‘comet-tail’ artifact (seen on the ultrasound screen). Compared with supine chest radiography , with CT or clinical course as the gold standard, bedside sonography has superior sensitivity (49–99% versus 27–75%), similar specificity (95 ...

    High attenuation crescent sign or hyperdense crescent sign is a radiologic sign indicating impending aortic rupture. [1] [2] It is seen as a curvilinear area paralleling the vessel wall of the aorta. [3] The hyperdense area is due to intramural or mural thrombus haemorrhage.

  8. Aortic unfolding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_unfolding

    Aortic unfolding is an abnormality visible on a chest X-ray, that shows widening of the mediastinum which may mimic the appearance of a thoracic aortic aneurysm. [1]With aging, the ascending portion of the thoracic aorta increases in length by approximately 12% per decade, whereas the diameter increases by just 3% per decade.
