How can be explained the right displacement of the trachea that can be seen on the DV projection? Thank you
Hi Eva,
The trachea is normally positioned just to the right of the spine. Take a look at some of the normal thorax cases to compare. Thanks for your question!

The cranial lung fields on the R lateral appear decreased in size – is this artifactual from the increased cardiac silhouette, due to summation from soft tissue, or a real change?
Hi Brook,
The lung looks slightly retracted because the mediastinum is quite wide, due to enlarged heart and vessels and/or some fat deposition. You can see the decreased size of the cranial lung lobes on the ventrodorsal projection.
