在八名患者中使用计算机断层扫描模型来显示心脏直径和心胸比在前后位置和后前位置之间可能如何变化。结果与 103 名无心力衰竭患者（对照）和 106 名心力衰竭患者的直立前后胸片测量结果进行了比较。男性心胸比例上限为 55%，心脏直径上限为 165 毫米，女性心脏直径上限为 150 毫米，这有助于区分正常和异常心脏大小。
A computed tomography model was used in eight patients to show how the heart diameter and cardiothoracic ratio might change between antero-posterior and postero-anterior positions. Results were compared with measurements made on erect anterio-posterior chest radiographs taken on 103 patients without cardiac failure (controls) and 106 with cardiac failure. An upper limit of cardiothoracic ratio of 55% and of heart diameter of 165 mm in males and 150 mm in females was shown to provide useful discrimination between normal and abnormal heart size.
