Abstract
When evaluating the cardiac/pericardial outline and mediastinal contours, it is easiest to follow the right and left borders that these structures make with the aerated lung. Although the mediastinum is optimally visualized by various cross-sectional imaging techniques, the initial stage of evaluation is often through plain radiographs.
