Findings

On lateral radiographs, the left side of the heart is enlarged. The left atrium is visible as a triangular soft tissue opacity on the lateral view, and as a double density sign on the d/v.

On the d/v, the aorta has a prominent bulge at one o’clock, and the pulmonary artery is enlarged at two o’clock. The left auricle is also causing a slight bulge in the cardiac silhouette at the three o’clock position.

There is a prominent vascular pulmonary pattern with enlarged pulmonary arteries and veins throughout the lungs.
