Silhouette sign is somewhat of a misnomer and in the true sense actually denotes the loss of a silhouette, thus, it is sometimes also known as loss of silhouette sign or loss of outline sign 4. The differential attenuation of x-ray photons by two adjacent structures
Key points The silhouette sign can help locate abnormalities in 3D space within the chest ‘Silhouettes’ and their adjacent tissues Left heart border (left ventricle) – Lingula Right heart border (right atrium) – Right middle lobe Left hemidiaphragm – Left lower lobe Right
In radiology, the silhouette sign refers to the loss of normal borders between thoracic structures.[1] It is usually caused by an intrathoracic radiopaque mass that touches the border of the heart or aorta.[2] In other words, it is difficult to make out the borders of a particular structure – normal or otherwise –

The silhouette sign is in essence elimination of the silhouette or loss of lung/soft tissue interface caused by a mass or fluid in the normally air filled lung. In other words, if an intrathoracic opacity is in anatomic contact with, for example, the heart border, then the
Chest Radiology > Post-Test Post-Test All of the material covered in this test can be found on the previous pages. 1) Opacification of what part of the lung will silhouette the left heart border? Left lower lobe Superior segment left lower lobe Right middle lobe
The PA-film shows a silhouette sign of the left heart border. Even without looking at the lateral film, we know, that the pathology must be located anteriorly in the left lung. This was a consolidation due to a pneumonia caused by Sterptococcus pneumoniae.

The silhouette sign was popularized by Felson, 3 who summarized the concept as follows: “An intrathoracic lesion touching a border of the heart, aorta, or diaphragm will obliterate that border on the roentgenogram. An intrathoracic lesion not anatomically contiguous

Lingular involvement, which is the lower segments of the left upper lobe, leads to loss of the left heart border. And left lower lobe lobar consolidation leads to a loss of portions of the left hemidiaphragm, as seen on the frontal examination. Frontal X-ray Signs of
Cardiac silhouette refers to the outline of the heart as seen on frontal and lateral chest radiographs and forms part of the cardiomediastinal contour. The size and shape of the cardiac silhouette provide useful clues for underlying disease. Rad
For example, a crisp silhouette is observed between the normal right middle lobe and the right heart border, which is formed from the right atrium (Figure 1). When consolidation occurs, like in a pneumonia, the silhouette is lost (Figure 2).
When seeing a silhouette sign at the left heart border, there are a few important radiological features one should look at to try and characterize the finding. These features can help navigate the differential diagnosis above. Page Updated: 03.01.2017 Scroll back to

If the heart contours are not clearly seen, this may be because of increase in density of the adjacent lung. The lingula – part of the upper lobe of the left lung – wraps over the left ventricle, and so loss of definition of the left heart border may be related to disease in
The right atrium makes up the right heart border and the left ventricle the left heart border. Obliteration of this normal air-soft tissue interface is known as the silhouette sign (of Felson). By determining exactly which silhouette/structure is obliterated, you can

Using the Silhouette Sign The mass (red arrow) silhouettes the right heart border which is to say there is no longer an edge of the right heart seen. That means the mass is (a) touching the right heart border (the mass is anterior) and (b) the mass is the same density as the heart (fluid or soft tissue density).
31/7/2015 · This sign is present when an intra-thoracic lesion touches the border of the heart, aorta, or diaphragm and that border is obliterated on the X-ray [Figure 21a – c].[] Conversely, an object which is not neighboring these structures will not obliterate their border [Figure 22a – c ].[ 8 , 31 ] This absence or presence of silhouette helps in localizing the lesion anatomically.
