Magnification
In projectional radiography ("X-ray") of the thorax (chest), the estimated geometric magnification factor is generally between 1.05 and 1.40,[1] meaning that measurements made in the image will be this much larger than the real distance in the patient.
Normal anatomy
A normal posteroanterior (PA) chest radiograph.
Normal lateral chest radiograph.
Projectionally rendered CT, showing the transition of thoracic structures between the anteroposterior and lateral view.
