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.
