Abstract

The hilar height ratio is a value that expresses the normal position of a hilus in its hemithorax. Pulmonary volume changes, infrapulmonary, and subphrenic processes may produce an abnormal hilar height ratio. Detection of pathologic states that do not alter the relative hilar heights is made possible by the recognition of this abnormal ratio.
