Overview
In a supine chest X-ray the deep sulcus sign is diagnostic[1], which is characterized by a low lateral costophrenic angle on the affected side.[2] In layman's terms, the place where rib and diaphragm meet appears lower on an X-ray with a deep sulcus sign and suggests the diagnosis of pneumothorax.
