The Diaphragm on the Lateral CXR

Here are the 5 ways to distinguish which side of the diaphragm is which on the lateral CXR:
1. The stomach bubble and splenic flexure of the colon are below the left.
2. The right hemidiaphragm is usually higher than the left.
3. The left hemidiaphragm is obscured by the heart anteriorly.
4. The right hemidiaphragm terminates posteriorly by the larger right ribs.,
5. Look for pathology.

On the example at 4:00 , the right hemidiaghram doesn’t end anteriorly, it got me confused

in the last example of this video in the PA X ray the Right hemi diaphragm is higher than left , so I expect that in lateral Image the upper diaphragm be the Rt side not the Lt

Not every technique works on every patient, but usually one of the methods will allow you to distinguish between the two. Thanks.

Yeah pneumoperitoneum is air under the diaphragm. It is also associated with a kind of continuous diaphragm, but in this case the lucency is below the diaphragm. In pneumomediastinum there is air in the mediastinum and the lucency will be above the diaphragm. When someone says continuous diaphragm sign, that usually means pneumomediastinum.
