- The posterior wall of the bronchus intermedius also appears as a stripe on lateral chest radiographs and is important in evaluating mediastinal disease. After the takeoff of the right upper lobe bronchus, the bronchus intermedius continues to descend for approximately 3–4 cm. The stripe representing the posterior wall of the bronchus intermedius is formed when lung within the azygo-esophageal recess outlines this posterior wall (11). This stripe is present on approximately 90%–95% of lateral chest radiographs and appears as a thin, vertical or slightly oblique stripe that typically projects through the radiolucent area created by the left upper lobe bronchus

- The left paratracheal stripe is formed by contact between the left upper lobe and either the mediastinal fat adjacent to the left tracheal wall or the left tracheal wall itself. Air within the trachea outlines the intervening soft tissues, thereby forming the left paratracheal stripe. The stripe extends superiorly from the aortic arch to join with the reflection from the left subclavian artery and thus may be referred to as the left paratracheal reflection
