Abstract

Objective:To assess the clinical application of X-ray sign in flat thorax syndrome.Methods:X-ray sign in patients with flat thorax syndrome in 25 patients were analyzed summarized.Results:The standard P-A and lateral chest film were taken,the antero-posterior(APDb),transthoracic diameter(TTDb) of the thorax were measured and the ratio of APDb to TTDb was calculated.The flat thorax syndrome could be diagnosed with the ratio of APDb/TTDb of the thorax ≤38%.According to the classification standards,Of all patients,the ratio of 14 patients were mild(38～36%),the ratio of 10 patients were moderate(35～33%);the ratio of 1 patients were major(32%).Conclusions:X-ray sign in the diagnosis of flat thorax syndrome have a high clinical value.
