Don't be fooled with the CXR. Deep Sulcus Sign
Because the air gathers at the base of the lung in a supine patient, it pushes down into the costophrenic angle (the "sulcus," which is the V-shaped corner where the diaphragm meets the chest wall).
This creates the deep sulcus sign, characterized by:
Abnormal Depth: The costophrenic angle on the affected side extends much further down into the abdomen than the normal side.
Increased Darkness: The area appears abnormally dark (radiolucent) because it is filled with air rather than lung tissue.
A Sharp Edge: The border of the diaphragm may look unusually sharp or distinct on that side.
