Question 10 - Single Best Answer

     

What is the significant x-ray finding on the above films?

A) Blunting of right costophrenic angle

Sorry...
There is a sharp angle between the lateral edge of the right hemidiaphragm and the ribs making up the costophrenic angle. Blunting of this angle would appear as a small meniscus or crescent shaped opacity.
