1. Height of the right lung greater than 29.9 cms.
2. Location of the right hemidiaphragm at or below the anterior aspect of the seventh rib.
3. Flattening of the hemidiaphragm
4. Enlargement of retrosternal space (on lateral chest x-ray)
5. Widening of the sternodiaphragmatic angle and
6. Narrowing of the transverse cardiac diameter.
