FIGURE 1.32. A 60-year-old man with pulmonary hypertension due to chronic liver disease. A: On the frontal chest radiograph, the main pulmonary artery is enlarged (arrow). The right interlobar pulmonary artery is enlarged, measuring 20 mm. The normal value is 17 mm (arrows). B: On the lateral view, the left pulmonary artery is enlarged, measuring 23 mm, compared with a normal value of 20 mm.
