CXray assessment of
pulmonary vascularity
Abnormal pulmonary vascularity can be
divided into four categories
• Plethora
• Pulmonary venous hypertension
• PAH
• Oligemia
Plethora
• The vascular shadows can be traced in the lateral one-third
of the lung fields
• End on vessels are more in number ( ≥ 3 in one lung field or
≥5 in both lung fields)
• The end on vessel diameter is more than that of
accompanying bronchus.
• Normally it is 1.2:1 and in plethora it is ≥1.5:1.
• The size of the RDPA in normally < 14 mm
• It is increased (> 16 mm in male and >14 mm in female)
• If the ratio of RDPA to trachea is more than 1 it indicates
significant left to right shunt.
• To have plethora left to right shunts should be at least 1.5:1
• En face vessel bellow 10th posterior rib
• Prominent vessels bellow the crest of the diaphragm
• Prominent hilar vessel on lateral view
Moderately restrictive VSD wit plethora
VSD with plethora  acquired RVOT
obstruction resulting into oligemia
PDA with plethoric lungs
PDA with Eisenmengerization  Oligemia
ASD before and after device closure
Pulmonary venous hypertension
• Stages (Larry Elliot)
• I – cephalization
• Staghorn or inverted moustache appearance
• II – Interstitial Edema
• III – Frank pulmonary edema
• Bat-wing appearance on CXR
• IV – Chronic pulmonary hypertension
• Hemosiderosis
• Ossification Braunwald 11th Edition
Cephalization: “Viking Helmet” sign
Interstitial edema
Kerley lines
• Kerley's A lines (arrows)
• Linear opacities extending from the
periphery to the hila
• They are caused by distention of
anastomotic channels between
peripheral and central lymphatics.
• Kerley's B lines (white arrowheads)
• Short horizontal lines situated
perpendicularly to the pleural surface at
the lung base
• They represent edema of the
interlobular septa.
• Kerley's C lines (black arrowheads)
• Reticular opacities at the lung base
• Representing Kerley's B lines en face.
Alveolar edema
MR with pulmonary venous hypertension
Non-restrictive VSD with increased PA and PV
vascularity
Ossification
Pulmonary arterial hypertension
• Prominent central pulmonary
arteries  constriction of the
peripheral vessels
• With onset of PAH there is RV and
RA enlargement
Normally
• Pruned-tree appearance
• Diminution in the size of arteries
in the middle and lateral thirds of
the lungs
• Pruning is defined as > 50% loss
of vessel diameter at any degree
branching and is suggestive of
PAH
• Outer 2 cm of the lung appears
devoid of vasculature (Braunwald
11th Edition)
Pruning
ASD with PAH  Decreased vascularity
PDA with reversal  Oligemic lungs
Eisenmengerised VSD
TOF – empty pulmonary
bay
Lacy reticular pattern in TOF secondary to
systemic to intrapulmonary collaterals
Normal
Redistribution: UL vessels more prominent
than the lower lobe vessels
Pulmonary edema
Pulmonary hypertension: COPD
Lateral view showing dilated PA
Pulmonary plethora: ASD
Non-restrictive PDA with increased PA
vascularity, enlarged LV
