Evaluate for Calcifications
Calcified areas are dense. Look for these regions in valves, vessels (coronary arteries) pericardium and walls of the LV (aneurysm/posterior infarct). To find valves on a lateral film draw a lline from the carina to the xiphoid and then draw lines to divide the heart into thirds. The valves should fall at the junction of these lines.
