  • In this study, the analysis on findings from simple chest radiography(CXR) test with total 1,669 subjects without any special clinical symptom came to the following conclusions : 1. In terms of the general characteristics of subjects hereof, male and female group accounted for 55.2% and 44.8% respectively out of all 1,669 people. 2. Pulmonary disease cases amounted to 249 persons(14.9%) out of all subjects. 3. In the analysis on prevalence rate by age distribution, it was noted that the older age led to the more number of diseases, which was demonstrated by age 34 or younger(6.1%), age $35{\sim}39(9.7%)$, age $40{\sim}49(13.3\;%)$, and age 50 or older(30.8%). 4. In regard of pulmonary disease alone, the region of onset was represented primarily by right upper lobe, which was followed by both upper lobe and left upper lobe, respectively. 5. In terms of disease types, it was found that most cases were represented by pulmonary nodule(55.0%), which was followed by cardiomegaly(24.5%), CP angle blunting(4.8%), scoliosis(4.6%), tortuous aorta(2.8%), bronchial luminal dilatation(2.4%), and pleural thickening(2.0%). However, dextrocardia, cystic dilation of bronchus, cavitary lesion, and lung collapse accounted for relatively low rate(0.4% respectively). 6. In terms of disease types by sex, it was found that male group accounted for higher percentage of having pulmonary nodule than female group, while the latter accounted for higher percentage of having cardiomegaly, tortuous aorta and scoliosis than the former. 7. In terms of disease types by age distribution, it was noted that age 34 or younger group accounted for higher percentage of scoliosis than any other age groups, while age $40{\sim}49$ group, age $35{\sim}39$ group, and age 50 or older group represented the case of CP angle blunting, pulmonary nodule, and cardiomegaly/tortuous aorta, respectively.

  • General anatomy classifies diaphragm as muscle of boundary between chest and abdomen, while radiology divides it into right and left hemidiaphragm, because it is more advantageous in radiological diagnosis on chest and abdomen. Based on these anatomic characteristics of diaphragm, this study aimed to measure the height and curvature of right and left diaphragm in simple chest radiography. As a result, this study came to the following conclusions : 1. For all subjects who joined this study, it was found that their mean transverse diameter in internal diameter of thorax(ID) amounted to 293.3 mm(min. 221.0 mm, max 335.3 mm). 2. For the right and left height of diaphragm, it was found that 81.4% showed higher right diaphragm ; 16.2% showed equivalent height between right and left diaphragm ; and only 2.4% showed higher left diaphragm. 3. For higher right diaphragm, it was found that the mean height of right diaphragm amounted to 15.2 mm(min. height = 2.0 mm, max. height = 41.7 mm). 4. For higher left diaphragm, it was found that the mean height of left diaphragm amounted to 11.5 mm(min. height = 4.7 mm, max. height = 30.4 mm). 5. The mean curvature of right diaphragm amounted to 22.9 mm(min. curvature = 10.4 mm, max. curvature = 37.3 mm). 6. The mean curvature of left diaphragm amounted to 22.4 mm(min. curvature = 11.3 mm, max. curvature = 42.2 mm). 7. For possible associations between ID and right/left diaphragm curvature, it was noted that ID was in significantly positive correlations with right diaphragm curvature(r= .427, p<.001) and left diaphragm curvature(r= .425, p<.001) on statistical level. 8. For possible associations between right and left diaphragm curvature, it was found that right diaphragm curvature was in significantly positive correlations with left diaphragm curvature(r= .403, p<.001).
