E. The posterior wall of the bronchus intermedius
14
Posterior Wall Of The Bronchus Intermedius
• Appears as a stripe
15
Posterior Wall Of The Bronchus Intermedius
• Appears on lateral
chest radiographs
16
Posterior Wall Of The Bronchus Intermedius
• It is important in
evaluating
mediastinal disease
17
Posterior Wall Of The Bronchus Intermedius
• The stripe
representing the
posterior wall of the
bronchus
intermedius
18
The posterior wall of the bronchus intermedius
is formed when
• Lung + Azygo-
esophageal recess
outlines this
posterior wall
19
Posterior Wall Of The Bronchus Intermedius
• Appears as
A thin
Vertical or slightly
oblique stripe
that typically projects
through the radiolucent
area created by the left
upper lobe bronchus
20
Posterior Wall Of The Bronchus Intermedius
• This stripe is present
on approximately
90%–95% of lateral
chest radiographs
21
Normal thickness Posterior Wall Of The Bronchus Intermedius
• Measures between
0.5 and 3.0 mm in
thickness
22
Abnormal thickening of the posterior wall of the bronchus
intermedius
• Cardiogenic pulmonary edema23
Abnormal thickening
of the posterior wall
of the bronchus
intermedius
Primary lung
carcinoma
Lymphadenopathy
Lymphoma Metastatic disease Tuberculosis Sarcoidosis

intermedius. Radiology1981; 139: 551–559.
25
Left Paratracheal Stripe
Left Paratracheal Stripe is formed by contact
between
Left upper
lobe
Mediastinal
fat
Or left
Tracheal wall
26
Left Paratracheal Stripe
The stripe is
extending superiorly
from the aortic arch
To join with the
reflection from the
left subclavian artery
superiorly
27
Teaching Point / Left Paratracheal Stripe
• Visible on 21%–31% of PA chest radiographs
28
Teaching Point / Left Paratracheal Stripe
29
Teaching Point / Left Paratracheal Stripe
• The proximal left common carotid
artery anteriorly
• Or the left subclavian artery posteriorly
It may be obscured by contact
between the left lung and
either
30
Widening of Left Paratracheal Stripe
Large left-sided pleural effusions
Left paratracheal lymphadenopathy
Neoplasm
Mediastinal hematoma

44
PA chest X ray shows the posterior junction line
(arrow)
Projecting through the tracheal
air column
45
PA chest X ray shows the posterior junction line
(arrow)
Note that the line extends above
the level of the clavicles.
46
CT scan shows the posterior junction line
• which is formed by:
The interface
between the lungs
posterior to the
mediastinum
Consists of four
pleural layers
47
Anterior and Posterior Junction Lines
• Anterior junction line (retrosternal space)
• Posterior Junction lines (retrotracheal space)
48
PA chest X ray shows a mass (arrow)
obliterating the posterior junction
line
Note that the mass extends above the
level of the clavicle
50
PA chest X ray shows a mass (arrow) obliterating
the posterior junction line
• The mass has a well-
demarcated outline
due to the interface
with adjacent lung
(arrowhead)

  10. The posterior wall of the bronchus intermedius also appears as a stripe on lateral chest radiographs and is important in evaluating mediastinal disease. After the takeoff of the right upper lobe bronchus, the bronchus intermedius continues to descend for approximately 3–4 cm. The stripe representing the posterior wall of the bronchus intermedius is formed when lung within the azygo-esophageal recess outlines this posterior wall (11). This stripe is present on approximately 90%–95% of lateral chest radiographs and appears as a thin, vertical or slightly oblique stripe that typically projects through the radiolucent area created by the left upper lobe bronchus

  18. Normally, the posterior wall of the bronchus intermedius measures between 0.5 and 3.0 mm in thickness 
  19. Normally, the posterior wall of the bronchus intermedius measures between 0.5 and 3.0 mm in thickness 
  20. The left paratracheal stripe is formed by contact between the left upper lobe and either the mediastinal fat adjacent to the left tracheal wall or the left tracheal wall itself. Air within the trachea outlines the intervening soft tissues, thereby forming the left paratracheal stripe. The stripe extends superiorly from the aortic arch to join with the reflection from the left subclavian artery and thus may be referred to as the left paratracheal reflection
  21. The left paratracheal stripe is formed by contact between the left upper lobe and either the mediastinal fat adjacent to the left tracheal wall or the left tracheal wall itself. Air within the trachea outlines the intervening soft tissues, thereby forming the left paratracheal stripe. The stripe extends superiorly from the aortic arch to join with the reflection from the left subclavian artery and thus may be referred to as the left paratracheal reflection
  22. Visible on 21%–31% of posteroanterior chest radiographs, the left paratracheal stripe is seen less frequently than the right paratracheal stripe, since it may be obscured by contact between the left lung and either the proximal left common carotid artery anteriorly or the left subclavian artery posteriorly
  23. Visible on 21%–31% of posteroanterior chest radiographs, the left paratracheal stripe is seen less frequently than the right paratracheal stripe, since it may be obscured by contact between the left lung and either the proximal left common carotid artery anteriorly or the left subclavian artery posteriorly
  24. Visible on 21%–31% of posteroanterior chest radiographs, the left paratracheal stripe is seen less frequently than the right paratracheal stripe, since it may be obscured by contact between the left lung and either the proximal left common carotid artery anteriorly or the left subclavian artery posteriorly
  25. Abnormal-appearing left paratracheal stripe in a 47-year-old patient with metastatic thyroid carcinoma. (a) Frontal chest radiograph demonstrates widening of the left paratracheal stripe (arrows) with mass effect on the trachea

  28. Chest radiograph with superimposed mediastinal stripes. Yellow: right paratracheal stripe. Light blue: right and left paraspinal stripes. Red: azygoesophageal stripe.

  31. Posterior junction line on PA chest radiograph (arrows). Note that the line extends above the level of the clavic les.
  32. CT scan shows the posterior junction line (arrow), which is formed by the interface between the lungs posterior to the mediastinum and consists of four pleural layers.
  33. A. A posteroanterior chest f ilm shows both anterior (solid arrows) and posterior (open arrows) junc t ion lines. B.
