Aorto-pulmonary ratios <1 and >1 –Examples.
a) Case of a patient presenting with an aorto-pulmonary ratio < 1. b) Case of a patient with TIC, presenting with an aorto-pulmonary ratio > 1, while contrast material inflow can still be seen within the compressed/collapsed aspect of the SVC superior vena cava (SVC) (red arrow).

Density measurements M1 and M2 in the pulmonary trunk and the aortic arch/descending aorta (n = 222 patients).

Intravascular contrast enhancement in the pulmonary trunk vs. aorta.
Box and whiskers plot (Tukey box plot with the following whiskers’ definition: lowest datum still within 1.5 x IQR of the lower quartile, and the highest datum still within 1.5 x IQR of the upper quartile; values < / > 1.5 x IQR being depicted separately) of intravascular contrast enhancement in the pulmonary trunk and the aortic arch/descending aorta. PA = pulmonary artery; A = aorta; M1 = measurement 1; M2 = measurement 2.

Stacked diagram of aorto-pulmonary ratios of measurements M1 (dark grey) and M2 (bright grey) for all patients 1–222; marked with the red grid line is a ratio = 1.
