Overview
An x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of tetralogy of fallot. Findings on an x-ray diagnostic of tetralogy of fallot include normal or decreased pulmonary vascularity, concave pulmonary artery segment, "boot-like" heart, and right sided aortic arch.
Chest X Ray
- An x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of tetralogy of fallot. Findings on an x-ray diagnostic of tetralogy of fallot include: [1]
- Normal or decreased pulmonary vascularity
- Concave pulmonary artery segment
- In tetralogy of Fallot, the heart may present with a "boot-like" or "coeur en sabot" appearance (an upturned right ventricular apex and a concave main pulmonary arterial segment), rather than the symmetric appearance of a normal heart.
- A right sided aortic arch may also be present.
- There is pruning or reduction in the prominence of the pulmonary vasculature over time.
