department of radiology, national hospital, oslo, norway.
the anterior junction line (ajl), the sterno-aortic distance and the sagittal
thoracic diameter were measured in ct sections at the carinal level in 22
patients with emphysema and 22 controls. the measured distances were all
significantly larger in the emphysema patients. an ajl of 3 cm or more and a
sterno-aortic distance of 4 cm or more was found in respectively 10 and 16 of
the 22 emphysema patients but in none of the control patients.
