Blunt diaphragmatic lesions: Imaging findings and pitfalls

Figure 9 Computed tomography findings in blunt diaphragmatic lesions - dependent viscera sign. These 3 mm thick multiplanar axial (A) and coronal (B) reconstructions show the spleen (arrows) and the stomach (a) lying on the posterior chest wall, without lung parenchyma interposition. This alteration represents the so-called “dependent viscera sign”.
